Few days back, one of the IT security guys quitted, right in the middle of a meeting, he announced it. Usually, people who had submitted their resignation would quietly lay low of one to two weeks, before letting the cat out of the bag.
When asked why he resigned, he said that he was not happy with his recent yearly pay increment. Not sure how much was it, but I think it probably low enough for him to make a decision to resignation.
We have always thought that the security people make the most money, with long hours work and all the trashing from customers and peers, they do deserve the higher pay. But, for a family person, it really tough, having to juggle between family and work.
Anyway, he said that he had been approach by other companies, hope he can find a better paid job. he is from a rich family, he will survive.
