I am currently in my first professional job in a leadership position and had my first annual review. I've got massively great feedback and I was told that I've exceeded their expectations, how easy it was to be working with me and how happy they were to have me in the company. They also offered me a 5% pay raise.
This past year, I have lived for the company. I've spent countless evenings and wekeends (of course unpaid OT) because my job was my all. I love the work that I am doing and the company culture and was planning so stay there for a very long time. I love it so much that on a Sunday I am looking forward to it being Monday again and so I can go back to the office.
The thing is: I got employed on a very minimal salary. It is 15% less than what is even at the lowest point of the market industry scale. I make 55k USD while the scale in my industry goes from 64k - 110k USD averaging at around 85k USD. I was hoping that once I prove myself that I get a big fat promotion so that my salary would be adjusted to average market standards. In fact, my salary barely pays my bills and I NEED a bigger pay raise (I live in a high cost of living city)
Now getting this 5% adjustment feels like a slap in the face. People tell me that it's great because usually there is only a 2-3% inflation adjustment per year but I just expected much more since my salary is already less than industry. I've tried to negotiate but my company told me off basically and also made me understand that I will never make my desired 80k (or at least they will give me a very hard time).
That kind of leaves me with no option other than applying for new jobs that give me a better starting wage. But why are companies like that? They don't care about me and my personal life and will just replace me with the next motivated junior that is silly enough to be working themselves to death for a minimal wage. I am so devastated and sad about this. I did so much for the company and saw myself working there for many years and now I realise that this past year was such a waste. What do I get from working until I am totally burned out? Some nice words? Oh please... that's all?
:-(
TLDR: I got a pay raise from my company which is not enough. Now I am devastated because I need to find a new job even though I don't want to leave.
