Alright! This is neither a whining post nor a show off post. This post is for my own knowledge so can make an educated decision about moving within dell or outside of dell. I was given a 4% raise and RSU 30k this year and I’m sitting at about 155k base pay as a i9 in Texas.

I personally feel after being here for 9yrs and being one of the top performer, I should have gotten more than just 4% raise and 100% bonus. So I’m trying to understand what the avg i9 in Services make so I get an idea of me being underpaid or is it just where I need to be.
