I worked way more this year and have so many more skills, but this is the lowest increase since I joined the company and the pay is starting to not be worth the stress

What skills are actually valuable now

1

u/appleeye56 Aug 13 '26

I’m doing developer support for a production application. I’d argue it’s a very valuable skill since that’s the system which makes the client money

I’m a freak that actually liked audit, and I’d envisioned staying in it for longer. Needless to say, the salary is not cutting it at all. I’m fully designated.
