Commercial Customer Service Representative

What’s the best way to have a lack of compensation and incentive conversation in your department? I went above and beyond for years doing extra work, organizations etc and nothing has been reflected in pay. I thought my 5 year was going to finally show something but it did not. I’ve inquired about pay but it’s gotten nowhere.

      Difficult Interview
      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      There was a structured exam that I had to take before the interview on my laptop, it was closed-ended questions, mostly analytical or mathematical. It was harder than I expected.
      Interview

      Mathematics was the most important sought out skill.
