I've been working the same job for 4 years since I graduated in 2001 (worked as intern since 1999 during school), as an IT analyst who basically does the job of a project manager. I'm 24. now making ~68k after bonus living in NYC. Annual raise went from 20% to 7% to 4% to this year's 2%. Rating was good (out of 3 - good, average, bad) and my boss's boss demanded him to drop me to an Average. After i pulled 12+ hour workdays in November - March to finish a project that I personally started from scratch with next to no help and went out to the field and train the employees the past 2 months. And the general reception/comments of the application I designed has been positive. Nobody else in the company can do what I do.
Company fired a whole bunch of people due to a partnership disintegration last year, and department is left with 3 people now. (my boss, me and another guy, help desk and network/infrastructure outsourced to IBM) this year we merged with another 2 companies to grow back to a 230 employee company but IT did not get another headcount. I have been talking to an old coworker here who now works for the consulting firm which the company use. I'm interested to go and he submitted my resume for me. He told me that for to do the same stuff I've been doing in less hours I could be making 6 figures if not close (as an application designer/development consultant). He told me the platform I specialize in is actually in demand right now (enterprise planning software)I haven't heard anything asking me to go to an interview yet, so I called my ex co worker up, he told me that somebody at the firm told him since the partnership between my company and the consulting firm, there will be bad blood if somehow they took me away, it's much easier if I simply quit my job now and then they can make me an offer. I don't want to just quit and be without an income since I recently bought an apartment and must make the mortgage payment, what if they were BS'ing and not give me an offer?
Cliffs:
1. Tired of current 4+ year job, since graduation
2. Worked hard, no promotion, sucky raise, rating forced down by boss's boss.
3. 3-person IT dept. Uses consultants. No one knows how to do my job.
4. Talked to ex coworker who we fired and is now a consultant at firm we use
5. Interested to go, but company and firm has a partnership
6. ex coworker *says* they cannot make me an offer while I'm still at the company, would be easier if I had quit
7. can't be without income. has to pay mortgage on apartment.
:beer: to those who read my crap
