I got a salary increase I never asked for!

I’ve been working on this company for about 4 months now. And I can’t believe na binigyan nila ako agad ng salary increase. To be honest, sa 3 month mark ko, I’ve been searching na sa google “how soon is too soon to ask for a raise”, and grabe dissapointment ko after ko mabasa na it should be atleast 6 months.

That’s why I just kept my mouth shut na lang and tried patiently waiting for the 6th month mark. Pero bigla kami nag 1 on 1 ng lead namin, and told me na sobrang bilis daw ng growth ko and I was doing great. That’s when they told me na I would get an increase, pero never told me kung magkano, just the range of the budget for my role.

A week after that, today, to be exact, hindi ko naman aakalain na 80% increase ang mare receive ko. Grabe tuwang tuwa ako.

I am just happy na hindi tulad ng current company ko yung previous, na puro praise lang. Tinawag pa akong superstar developer, naka receive ng good feedback sa mga clients because of me, pero never nag initiate na bigyan ako ng increase, only when I submitted my resignation.

I’m happy kasi nare-recognize ng current company ko ang potential and all the efforts na binibigay ko.

Ayun lang, salamat sa pagbabasa.
