Got a promotion today!!

[Raptorex]

I make more than Supervisors of IT, about the same as a Manager of IT, I still do a lot of analysis and design, some development, so I prefer to keep the technical title.

Keep in mind, internal rep and awards mean nothing on the outside, your next job will simply call your current HR and ask for your title and salary. I agree with staying technical (bread and butter) but don't underestimate perception.

I hear ya man, my resume speaks for itself, I'm managing multi million dollar projects

time to move on bro, you will be undervalued there for life.

But congrats. Never stay more than 3-5 years if you are an over-achiever, they will use you.

this is very true. They have gotten a great value out of me over the years, I did some of my best work as an Intern!

I believe I've been fairly compensated, could I get more? yes, absolutely, I could get more tomorrow if I went looking, but there are some other good reasons to stay here.

I have held 2 previous associate dir titles, 1 dir title and still keep my tech skills. If I change jobs, they simply go right to the management titles. Upper level management doesn't understand the challenges of programmers, thus it relies on often people with management titles that can't program a do-loop.
