I’ve been in the workforce for about 8 years as a software developer and I never kept a job more than a year, each year I would jump ship for at least 20% increase in salary. I wanted to try to remain loyal to one company.

I’ve been with my current employer for 3 years, at a big multinational corporation. During this time my work was exemplary, I even started a new trend in the corporation that ended up rewriting all their 15 year old applications to decrease development cost and enable features, I’ve been a technical lead and voice within the company, took responsibilities that weren’t mine just to get the job done good and fast.

In return, I discovered that I’m paid half of what the new developers are paid in the project and when I asked for a raise I was called greedy. So I came to realize that loyalty is not paid off so today I quit my job.

Morale of the story, don’t spend your time in a company if your salary is not matched according to the market standards, even if you love the project, eventually it will hurt you and after all, you are selling your time and expertise.
