I've been a technical product manager at a small defense company for a year now. I genuinely love my job, the team, and the work-from-home life. Over the past year, I've racked up certifications, won awards, and even helped the company land big contracts. My reviews are glowing, and everyone says I'm a top performer. But here's the kicker: despite all that, there's no promotion or raise in sight—just budget excuses and vague promises. I even found out how much profit I bring in, and let's just say, it's a lot more than what lands in my bank account. So, do I stick around and hope things change, or start polishing my resume for greener (and richer) pastures? Is loving your job enough when your paycheck doesn’t love you back? 🤔💸 #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceDilemma #SalaryTalk #JobCareer
