I'm doing important work, I'm surrounded by smart people, and I have the support of the company to grow my career in the direction(s) I'd like to take it. They'd have to pry me out of this job with a crowbar.
(I checked your profile to see if I could see where you work : )
Edit: I'm feeling childish but in a good way.
I work for amino-dot-com, a healthcare/financial wellness startup. Elevator pitch: big companies contract with us to tell their employees which doctors they should go to and how much it'll cost, and we'll even book the appointment for them.
One of the things developers often get when changing jobs is a pay rise that they wouldn't get otherwise.
If you don't mind me asking: How does the pay rise process work in your company?
Sorry for a money-focused question.
I’ve gotten substantial promotions and raises as I’ve worked my way up the ladder, and I’m pretty sure most/all of my coworkers have, too. The last thing we want is to have someone feel that they’ve hit a cap here. If someone’s awesome and growing in their career, that’s exactly the kind of person you want to stick around.
