use all their resources (training for your own purposes), make good connections, and leave.

your current company, most likely, will not give you the big bucks. you get the biggest raises by getting a new job.

don't stay anywhere too long if you're not moving up the chain. your current roll will continue to be your roll and your money will only go up in very small increments. if you work for a big ass comp, you can possibly move to another job/role. that's cool for learning, but you'll still need to move up the chain or out to get better money.

as was said earlier, they don't really care about us. the people may care a little, but the company doesn't give af.
