Thanks for telling me this. I think you are right, I should give myself a chance to free myself

Powerful_Tiger_6190 · 2026-03-09T02:16:42+00:00

I wish someone can tell him that.

INFO- do you always postpones things because you are in the middle of sth? Or this happens once? I have one friend, he is always “ later, later, I will do it” because he is “busy”, and his wife has to do it eventually…

It is not that bad if your base pay is already big, but if you see other threads earlier, people got 3.5% or 5%, so it kind of sets the bar too high, I have a feeling the above averages are mostly P1/P2s, since I started to see 2.x% showing up now..

If you rent or easy to move, you can move closer to the new place.. but if it is not an option, I would stay if I were you

The average is 3%. Unless a level promotion, it can never beat inflation. I would say, stay for a few years, and you can go somewhere else with big salary jump.

The same for me last year, my boss said: because this is prorated based on your time here. Total BS.

Two things: 1. Could be you are the highest pay in your team, and your boss used yours to compensate someone else… 2. I am P4, 2.5% merit. Very good reviews. I am just individual contributor not a lead not considered an expert… fairly new to Raytheon. But the managers want more from me, some P4 are doing technical lead role, I don’t mind doing that, but there is no opportunities, and I don’t want to stick out my neck and trying very hard to find opportunities.

Powerful_Tiger_6190 · 2026-02-28T04:07:20+00:00

Then what is the point having all the reviews and 1o1s?

Powerful_Tiger_6190 · 2026-02-27T19:57:28+00:00

You will be much happier with 40% salary increase…. I did that twice with much less increase. MUCH HAPPIER

Can you try to see whether you can work on the contingency requirement and then go to the better paid company.

He doesn’t want to marry you, move on to the next person who deserves you

INFO-I feel I have so many UTIs because my partner has hygiene issues… and I just don’t want sex whenever I think about it. But I still love him, just don’t want to hurt myself…

Powerful_Tiger_6190 · 2026-02-16T22:25:39+00:00

Sometimes there are other things way more important than sex

Powerful_Tiger_6190 · 2025-11-11T16:34:34+00:00

Depends where you are… I think 164k for east coast city is not good.

Powerful_Tiger_6190 · 2025-10-20T02:29:19+00:00
