I graduated in 2008 during the financial crisis. Same situation. Not much job. Offered only 2.5k no choice have to take.

Never got salary adjustment. But fresh grad in 3 years batch later straight say get up to 3.2k.

Worked for 12 years in IT. Increment slow. Now only teach 5.1k but only to learn that fresh grad in IT last year getting 4.4k.

Can't get a break..

I hope you don't face the same fate as me.

Those got in last year also not good cause this year increment will be low. You want to change job everywhere also low.

Life is not fair I learned it. So I'm not fair to my colleagues at work too.
