Previous move reasons basically is not challenging, no appreciation and 50%increments offers.. same goes to now again, within half year+, I got additional 1 offer from 4.5k to 6k+about 35%increments again..
Why bother with 35%? Break free from that HR crap. Ask for what you want. Try, lets say 8k
- They already know you can do the task
- They know they can trust you
- Hiring process is tedious and sucks for company. It cost money, time and morale. 1/10 not reccommended
Stop thinking company behave like you and me. 2k for us is better car and house. 2k for company is that 1 time your director eat out at upscale restaurant. Or that new state-of-the-art coffee machine that nobody know how to use.
1. "But I don't want to be an opportunist. They're my friend"
You're gambling your future in new company. Why bother joining if its not worth it. If they made it, bravo, but you're unlikely to get anything fat. If they don't make it, you're farked too.
2. "But that salary is too much for my age. I'll be doing the same thing as now"
How do you think people got 20k salary? Wait for latuk generous offer? No, they asked for it.
As for the type of work, I think there misconception. I'm paid quite decent amount now, doing the same thing I'm doing when I was paid 2k/month. Lots of others can resonate too.
Take a chance. Overconfident is bad. But not knowing your self worth is even worse.
