Your current salary almost becomes your anchor for everything going forward. Every raise, every offer, every negotiation builds off that number. Makes me think your early moves matter way more than we realize.

That is a reason why so many people, especially the younger ones just starting out, will change companies every 2-3 years.

They do matter. I got decent raises with a co I was with for 22 years but it didn't keep up with comparable salaries other places. I had to leave for it to increase but it was a difficult road at that point.

Spot on. I wasted too many years being strung along for promotions and raises that never came when I could've advanced my career. I made up ground the past 5 years but certainly advise others to avoid the mistakes I made early in my career.

I had the opportunity to more than double my salary when I was a SM but I stayed and made partner. Guess where I ended up making more money even though it took a few years to match that offer I declined.

Sure job hopping may make your numbers look good but at some point that will stop as well as your career progression.

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
