I've seen this story play out over and over. you will never see a raise with the current company. ever.

it works even in the federal government for highly paid scientists in certain organizations

they max out the gs pay scale but the private sector offers so much more so OPM can go beyond gs for people they want to keep with special procedures, you just gotta threaten to leave with an offer letter

i dunno if id wanna try in the private sector though unless you're sure you're the best thing since sliced bread

you just become the guy that stalked me on linkedin and wrote me that awkward email.

contacting people that haven't given you their contact info isn't cool

it's like sending a facebook friend request to a girl you met in passing

after furiously masturbating to her profile picture of course

if you dont get the job either you werent the right fit in their mind or someone else was better

sending unsolicited emails to people that werent even present during your interview will do nothing to improve your chances, but may definitely hurt them

I've been looking around casually for another gig for a bit and it's really bizarre when you ask about working from home occasionally and suddenly they get all huffy about how THE CULTURE requires everyone to be physically present in the office at all times

lmao

my current company's nearest office is 30 miles away and rush hour traffic here is horrendous

i told them straight up if they expected me to be in the office every day to look for someone else and all they said was "try to come in twice a week for the few few months to get to know people"

a year later I still come in twice a week :shobon:

either the place you work is a good enough fit for you that you deal with being paid less than you think you should be, or you leave

can always come back and renegotiate your salary a year later
