I have the same experience (worked for small companies, startups and FAANG).

At small companies you are working your ass off, and sometimes you'll get something in return - but mostly you'll just get a thankyou from some C-level or founder dude.

At FAANG I was getting a decent salary raise year after year (and a bigger bump through a promotion).

My raise at Amazon was about 4.5% (total after two years).

Of course they say it was 10% because of the way they take stock into account.

Not totally unfair, but still a kick in the pants when the bonus runs out and you see a thousand dollars a month less in your bank account.
