What is your most unpopular salary opinion? Mine is it's okay to not job hop every 2-3 years if you are still growing your skills even if your salary isn't.

My new hire is making $30/hour more than me for the exact same Field Tech role. I’ve been here since 2022, but his starting pay is higher than my current ceiling. When I asked for a match, HR told me to focus on my own career path instead of worrying about others. Should I just quit and re-apply for my own job at the new rate, or is that a bridge-burning move?

Got an offer letter​ from Walmart Inc., at Bentonville. The job description said the range is $70K - $130K. And they offered me $90K saying this is even higher and wouldn’t get approved. Apparently it did. I got very similar strong experience for the role. I was expecting well around $100K, should I negotiate on this? How would you handle it? I acknowledge the job market is bad, and Arkansas is comparatively cheap. Seeking advice.​

I hit my FIRE number at 31, but I’m too scared to quit because I don't know what to do. I’ve spent ten years obsessing over vesting schedules and promotion cycles. I see my non-tech friends struggling to pay rent and I feel a weird survivor's guilt. How do you walk away from a $25k monthly direct deposit when you’ve made it your entire identity?

I had a moment today where I realized life has gotten expensive and I need to make more. What was your trigger point when you realized your salary wasn't enough for your lifestyle? Did you advocate for more money or look for a new job?
