are trying to enter the field. There are still companies who don't offshore, but when it comes to renew the contract in order to stay competative they can't raise their rates. It all trickles down, no increase for the company, no increase for the MT. There are companies that will give increases, but they are so small that over a period of a month will only mean $30. I received 2 increases within my first year based on quality of work, but it has been 5 years since I've had an increase and they have cut benefits.
