and he said that he cannot match the new salary nor benefits. In return though he offered me much more responsibilities for 15% less pay than the new offer, and said that the company is expanding fast so I should better just wait. He complemented me on my job so far but also said I am not good enough and he expects more from me. He always says I have potential but am still not there yet…
Worst part is, I believed him at first. Hey, maybe if I wait a couple pf years I will get that promotion I said to myself. The money is not that bad, I am learning a lot I said to myself.
Not any more. I am quitting and taking the better offer right now. Don't let yourselves be fooled for years about that mysterious offer and opportunity that awaits – there are companies that will give you this and more right now just to win you over, who won't belittle you just to prevent you from asking a fair salary.
