I've been working for this relatively new company financial services company for nearly 2 years and have done so much for them during this time. During this time they have screwed me out of a good salary for so long with a promise that it'll improve in time, 2 potential redundancies which I successfully fought against and a non-existant work life balance.
Some of my colleagues have moved on to the other roles and are doing well for themselves while I'm still here. The workload has increased tenfold and the company is not offering any type of support even though I've been crying out for some help for a while now, their excuse is always “it's good to be busy, think of the commission” but I can't think of the commission when I can't even service every client properly. I'm so very behind it's not even funny.
I've asked for 2 pay rises and I've been shot down both times, even though I personally paid for exams to take on more responsibilities. The pay I'm getting is waaaay below industry standard. I feel like I'm being taken for ride.
I've just been offered another role with a slightly higher base salary, less responsibility and more support however it's very specialist compared to the open ended nature of my current role (which can potentially lead to other opportunities in future)
I'm about to have a meeting with the CEO to inform them of the offer. I'm the only one within the business with the qualifications required to complete 'regulated business' so I know he will offer me the same salary as I've been offered to stay, but I don't know if I should tell him to go fuck himself, he had his chance, or should I take the more pay and suck it up for a few more years.
