For context: I never really cared about yearly reviews or raises at my job before my current job. I knew they were going to be mostly shit anyway and that I was better off job hopping every couple of years to get a “raise”. Which I did six times between 2008 and 2020 after staying at my second job 9 years and getting 3% raises and seeing the bonus drop.

That being said, the only formal raise/promotion process i know about are at tech companies. Promotions are based on “scope” and “impact” and not how well you code. The only time “coding well” comes into play is going from junior or mid.

Even the interviews that determine your leveling is based on behavioral interviews and system design.

I couldn’t interview for my next job and all I could put on my resume is “I wrote a lot of code”
