I'm 29y/o and am 7 years with my current employer. Only making around $46,000/year before taxes and am starting to look elsewhere for employment. This company has a long term focus when it comes to pay, they offer a 401k contribution as a percentage of your pay based on the company's performance which is typically 10-15%. It is employee owned with stock options, can only buy the allocated amount assigned to you and they pay dividends quarterly and a "bonus" dividend at the end of the year. They also have a pension plan which I am grandfathered into - no longer offered to new employees.
I have went to management requesting a raise but it doesn't look like it will happen. If I am to move up in this company it would require me to relocate which I am not willing to do at this time. My finances are strong for someone my age (I think) but I am trying to live my life today and not at the time of retirement.
Should I stick around because of the benefits here or go elsewhere where I can most likely earn $80-90k a year after a year or two. I have (2) bachelor degrees in Business Management and HRM, a Masters in Supply Chain Management and 3 years of Project Management Experience....First time poster, long time lurker, looking for advice.
