For what it’s worth, I have literally never asked for a raise in 30 years and have had my pay double in the span of two years at multiple companies. I am an individual contributor making an embarrassingly good total comp. Maybe the key is that deep down, I keep trying to provide value commensurate with what they pay me, and I never feel like I get there.

Substantially more guilt- based productivity maybe. I think I’ll be fine.
