These kind of messages are really nice to read :)

One of the things developers often get when changing jobs is a pay rise that they wouldn't get otherwise.

If you don't mind me asking: How does the pay rise process work in your company?

Sorry for a money-focused question.

We have regular evaluations where each employee is matched against a career ladder document we have. If you meet all (or most, with no red flags) of the criteria, you get a promotion. We’re going through a process with a consultant now to compare our salary ranges for each level with other companies like us, with the plan to adjust everyone’s comp to match the new levels.

I’ve gotten substantial promotions and raises as I’ve worked my way up the ladder, and I’m pretty sure most/all of my coworkers have, too. The last thing we want is to have someone feel that they’ve hit a cap here. If someone’s awesome and growing in their career, that’s exactly the kind of person you want to stick around.
