I’ve been consistently getting raises since I joined the IT company I work for in 2017. I have a friend who just got hired with them for the THIRD time after jumping to other jobs to get salary bumps.
He was making more than me when he started. He makes less than me now.
Showing up and doing your job just isn’t enough. You have to have presence. You have to make yourself known. Know what you’re worth. And most importantly, you have to advocate for yourself.

I feel like telling your boss what you did/ worked on makes you present. Just showing up, doing work and leaving doesn’t help
