| (Next part of the text): Obviously, this career switch would be a great opportunity for me to move into the back-end world, learn a lot of new stuff, broaden my SE skills, build a better CV and invest in my future. There are many arguments that I can find on my side to find it disgraceful and why they shouldn't decrease my salary. I feel I shouldn't even have to defend my salary in the first place in this situation, as decreasing my salary is a bit of a low blow. Some notes:
- The startup has a lot of cash
- We are ~20 software engineers
- I am quite confident that I could earn more than my current salary with my experience if I moved to a bigger city in my country
- The other juniors didn't have more professional experience when they were hired, and don't have a better education
- I absolutely love the the project, and the other employees, our culture, and the office
- Even if I do accept now, I don't know why they'd want to do this to me when they know I am not happy with the situation, as their are making me lose some of my loyalty to the company, taking the risk that I'll leave when I get enough experience on back-end I feel like they are forcing the pay cut on me, after promising me a switch, then promising there wouldn't be any salary change. HN, shed light on my situation and tell me what you think. |
