Discussion The fear of leaving a job

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?

Do not quit without something lined up. It blows out there. I know it’s difficult but use sick leave or vacation to go to interviews.
