After my salary increment (12%), I feel it still doesn’t match the market rate, so I confronted the director about the salary adjustment. He tried guilt tripping me, I expected that. He "said" they "will" add a bit more in the mid-month bonus, said only.
Not to mention office politics especially among long-time "loyal" staff... Also, I’m not gaining valuable experience and the unrelated tasks won’t boost my resume, QA Engineer. No career growth/development in 3 years. Promotion? Likely only for those who stay 10+ years.
I'm planning to quit soon, but I feel stuck in my comfort zone, just like before, afraid to change jobs... Now got my own family, health problems, need stable jobs...
The conversation:
- He: Job satisfaction and health matter more than money. (non-existence, medical benefit)
- He: I leave on time and rarely work overtime, so money isn't a priority.
- When I mentioned market salaries being higher, he changed the topic.
That is why you should never stay loyal to a company... Times are different these days, and loyalty wouldn't pay you much now. Instead, job hop every 2-4 years...Not to mention office politics especially among long-time "loyal" staff...

It's also to test your skillset across the wide range of real-world markets found...
You'll get to play and work around with different leaderships, people of various skillsets, monetary and talent resources in the team / department, as well as different problems to tackle...
If you find a toxic leader, then move on before you get locked in and suffer... If you find a good team, and a good management, then stay lock in and floor it...
Also... when your salary gets higher, think about how to scale a team, money-saving causes for the company, as well as big-picture thinking...
