MORE THAN A YEAR JR. DEV

Hi, i need some advice

Currently working as a Junior Dev sa isang IT company. Before ako nag-transition, QA Engineer ako and 16k yung salary ko during probation.

After around a month, kinausap ako ng boss ko and offered me a Jr. Software Engineer role. Sabi niya rin na once I accept the offer, tataas daw yung salary ko, so I accepted kasi syempre akala ko magiging okay yung increase 😭

Fast forward to regularization, 2k lang yung nadagdag and now I’m earning 19k. Parang hindi ko na alam if tama pa ba ’to huhu Apat kaming dev sa team, and yung dalawang kasama kong dev around 25k monthly, while ako lang yung nasa 19k

I’ve been mass applying na rin sa ibang companies for a while now, pero so far wala pa ring nag-aaccept 😭 I feel like one reason is medyo mababa pa talaga yung experience ko since recently lang din ako nag-transition from QA to dev.

Tbh, hindi ko na alam if I should stay muna para mag-gain pa ng experience or keep looking for a better opportunity 🥹 medyo nakaka-discourage lang din minsan kasi parang ang laki ng gap sa salary huhu
