Hey 73...Hey 27
Dave, we all know that your job is with a large company...after the time spent with them, maybe you should explore other options. Being with a company and not making much if your comfortable within that company is fine, if you can pay your bills and obligations. But if you have been there x years and feel your not being paid what you think your worth leads to lower moral, and poorer preformance, job disatisfaction etc...
What I am trying to say is never reject an opportunity before exploring the opportunity.
