Is this cos, next yr will be a bad yr? I stated 15% increment as my expectations and find this very fair. In the 1st yr at a company, I assume there may not be any increment, so anything less than 15%, I would rather stay in my current co.
I do not hate my current co/job, new job is similiar to what I do, smaller company only.
