...and I'm gonna take a guess and say you are one of those Entellect guys?

EDIT: no wait, those guys "only hire" BSc and up

How did you come to that conclusion?

How did you come to that conclusion?

Because I only know of one dev company in Melrose Arch?

Entelect I believe you're aware of.

Then there's Synthesis as well.

I see they only have one L in their name...

Never heard of Synthesis

I'm a plain old C# .Net dev with 3 years xp, I earn what I stated. The OP has far more xp...
I do work in Waverley/Melrose Arch in JHB.

AND I have a Mickey Mouse diploma from a place that has been discussed on here

OP is based in Cape Town. Makes a big difference. I have a Masters in Electronic Engineering with 3 years experience and my salary is not even in the same ballpark...

Doing mainly: embedded C++, and Java / Python desktop dev.

I consider myself VERY lucky.

Not gonna mention company name, might end up neck deep in the dwang.

3 months ago, my CTC was half what it is now.

Thanks Guys much appreciated, currently getting about 40% less then your guys salary ranges. I went for a few interviews but most company's want to take you current salary and +10%

And it's completely within your power to tell them to bugger off and do better.

It's a weird thing that people complain about companies only giving them +10%...but then they still accept that offer.

Accepting the offer is what realizes the salary. Tell them to do better...give them reasons why if you want to and convince them you are currently underpaid.

Same thing applies for people who don't want to give their payslips. So what if you give them your payslip...doesn't mean you have to accept the offer.

Some people move to get out of a situation and not only for a huge increase in a salary.

Hi, what are the minimum requirements? I might have someone for you.

For sure., but then they wouldn't be complaining about the raise in the first place would they?

That was what the discussion was about.

The sad thing is that job hopping is an effective way to up your salary. Often, those who remain loyal to one company for 10 years are getting a lot less that people who have been through 4 or 5 jobs in the last 10 years (with the same or worse skills) as it will go up at each move. Companies will generally pay what they can get away with (as little as possible) and are quite short sighted about the importance of loyalty and systems/company knowledge. The bottom line is if you don't ask you don't get (above your inflation based 7%). The disparity between CPT and JHB is just stupid (irrelevant and divisive) in a global marketplace (and where CPT is probably 1/3rd more expensive a place to live)
You do have to add value though. Can whoever employs you make their money back from you by selling the fruits of your labour?

Try not to disclose your current salary. Ask what they are offering and decide from there.

3-5 years SQL server development. We do all parts of SQL, procedures, triggers and loads of scripts.
