There is good work-life balance here (I generally never need to OT except when projects get delayed). My bosses and peers are nice (I have a lot of autonomy for my work), and the company culture is generally good (there's not much office politics).

So, what I do to try and make up for it is to invest on the side.

Of course, I am not adamant on staying in one company forever but so long as the average increment rate (including bonuses) is satisfactory to me, and the non-monetary aspects are still good, then I will stay on.
