My husband has been at the same company for almost three years now. It was his first job out of college, he was initially placed as a temp and then hired full-time almost immediately. Since then, he's been given three "huge" (in their words) promotions, had four people placed under him (he started at the 'bottom' of his dept.), and they've dissolved two positions because they found that he could do the work of three people.
In that time, he's been given 0 raises.
He's recently been contacted by a few different companies about open positions, which led him to doing a little research into his position and what people are normally paid (keeping in mind that while he has the one title, he fills three positions). He's found that most companies pay 40-60% more for just his primary position.
So now we're having a lot of late-night discussions (he works unpaid overtime most days) about his prospects, what his current job is worth to him (outside salary), etc. I've never been involved in office-type jobs, and this is his first... so we're struggling (with some help from his parents and mentors) to figure out what his next move should be. We're both gun-shy about him quitting, even for immediate placement somewhere else. Dunno why.
So I thought I could get some random thoughts about this stuff from the lovely PSers. When is it time to move on? When is it not, yet?
