I’ve been with my company for six years and have worked my way up. One of my better employees is leaving for a management position somewhere else. She has been with the company less than three years. Turns out that at two levels higher than her, I only make about $4k more than her currently. I’ll be putting out my resume in the next week or so to find somewhere that will pay for my experience. I grew up with boomer parents and have the company loyalty mentality but that might be gone now.
