I’ve been employed before where I felt undervalued and it frustrated me to no end. My ideas were never even considered because I was a “Jr. Developer.” I felt like no matter how hard I worked, it was never enough, and more was always expected. I left there, even turning down a better raise than what I was getting at my new job.

Knowing that your employers appreciate and care for your work, and they make sure you know that as well, it helps a lot.
