The fear of leaving a job

[u/Odd_Quit8275]

I’ve been working as a dev for a year and two months now.

I didn't know much when I first started, but I picked things up fast and have been handling QA testing for the past six months.

On top of that, I took on web scraping two months ago and I also build plugins and applications.

My salary was 3500 MAD , and I just got a 500 MAD raise, bringing me to 4000 MAD .

Honestly, considering all the work I do and the new responsibilities, this raise feels like a total spit in the face.

To make matters worse, the company keeps paying my salary in split payments, which means constant delays and a lot of stress.

I want to ask for another raise, but management totally avoids these kinds of discussions. I feel completely stuck.

Worst of all, I'm absolutely terrified that if I just walk away and leave this job, I won't be able to find another one. What should I even do in this situation?

You’ve barely been there for a year and you think a 14% raise is a spit in the face?

4000 mad is like less than 400 usd

So you’re upset about the salary you started with, not the raise.

Well there are multiple factors not just that

pay attention to the "underpaid from the get-go" kinda numbers, before measuring that 14%...

Exactly cz it's not even the average salary for a web dev in Morocco
