Turning 34 this year and if I being brutally honest the company jumping and other kak didn't really help me grow in any meaningful way. Life also been a bit difficult since 2022.
At R1.5bar a year now. R2.1 with bonuses + share allotment. Will do a proper breakdown of everything when I am sober.
Contracting didn't quite pan out but still managed to get a perm job at R102k gross.
Now at the current company (A) I should get a view on what increases look like later this week hopefully but manager has mentioned something like 5% and shares worth 10-15% that become available every year, so...
32 and last day at current place. Finished at R99k gross excluding bonuses etc.
Back to being only a dev but contracting @ R1200p/h for the next 2 years. Will update when I leave this place
Firstly everyone's career is their own responsibility. I am not content with where I am at the moment and while I am lucky to be in the 1%, there is no reason I shouldn't strive for more. How do you think I got to this point ?
Family responsibilities keeping me here for the moment and would like to see how things pan out.
Understand your point on moving ASAP to get into the market quickly.
Would most likely move on a Spousal visa to the UK.
Thanks for the feedback, didn't know Dublin was more expensive over London...
True. Grateful but yeah. Nett hasn't actually changed that much at all.
Mind me asking how old you are? How is the UK Tech environment?
I'm considering Ireland in 2-3 years
Funny enough 4 years ago I was in a rut, earning less than half what I am making now. Made a technology shift that hurt in the beginning but is starting to pay dividends.
Also learnt that being the hardest worker doesn't get you anywhere. Build relationships with your manager and their manager...
