Wondering how my current compensation package compares based on my profile. I think it's on the lower end but would like to get second and third opinions. I have some more years of experience as an IT intern working in different types of projects (C#, PHP, even COBOL) from when I was a University student for a degree that I didn't get in the end.

At my current company I've been working since before graduating and I'm far from a senior profile, but because it's a young company, having been here for 4 years affords me a high degree of independence and I feel like I have a large impact in shaping the product and get to work on what I like/what I'm best at. I like the team but I get bored sometimes and I wonder if there's something better out there. Sometimes I also feel like I've hit a 'ceiling' at this company because while I've learned a lot at the beginning, these days I just do more of the same which kind of sucks so early in my career, and I think I would develop more skills/have more room to grow in a larger team. I haven't voiced these concerns to my employer (I wonder if I even should?)

I stand to lose some netto next year because I still have auteursrechten, so looking at my compensation package I wonder if there's something that's worth trying to negotiate or if it's time to jump ship
