You know what sucks is that I'm currently with a similar midsize tech company. Love the work, the company and the people; but, I also know that I'm probably only getting a 2-5% bump at the end of this year and if I want anything more I have to go looking for another gig.

It sucks that every job has a "lifespan" of only 2-3 years before it would be foolish not to go get another job for a massive pay bump. As much as I love my current employer I'll probably leave sometime in 22"
