How many IT architects we have?

I started my career at a startup, then joined EM, and after a few years I moved to Amazon. I see a lot of comments claiming that big tech companies are just as toxic as XOM, but that hasn’t been my experience. Amazon is competitive, sure, but it’s a... — read more

Every one else enjoying their 0% raise as much as I am. What a bunch of BS. Received a CL promotion and was moved to. New job. Was dropped in the rankings and received a 0% raise and fewer RSU awards. So basically my CL promotion has cost me money!
