Are you satisfied with your current pay? - eviltoast

Trying to get to know the community a bit more.

If you want to share figures (you don’t have to) you might probably want to use a throwaway account, better safe than sorry.

    No, I’m not - but it’s complicated. I settled for a job with a lower salary than I’m used to because I wanted a mental break.

    But, the employer pulled a bait-and-switch. After I signed the hiring agreement, they saddled me with a more advanced role that easily makes twice my agreed salary. I fought for a fair adjustment, but it turned into a perpetual “moving goalposts” situation.

    So, after a year of doing a $175k-$200k job for $100k (mostly for the sake of my resume), I essentially said fuck you, pay me - or I’m out. They didn’t budge, so I resigned. Here’s hoping my next employer is at least slightly less greasy.
