Hey everybody,
Senior SWE here, 14 years of experience, working for a medium-ish sized company in the coastal VA area. The development team is extremely small and greatly overburdened. In my last review I asked for 135k trying to highball but they gave me 117k, up from 105k. Do y’all think I was expecting too much, or is it time to peace out?
Thanks!
Mutual might offer a pension.. but publicly traded might offer better bonuses. Would likely depend on the type of role..

I’ve just seen different things depending on the company. Best way to make more is to jump to another company.. you may not necessarily make (much) more in base, but typically there are sign on bonuses and better bonuses out there. For example, my last company paid managers 10% bonuses. A few individual contributors I worked with went to other companies and now get 10% bonuses in their new companies.

Tagging this to follow, am curious too
More dependent on type of role, they’re both competing for the same talent
