Very realistic

It's realistic but won't be all in cash. You're paid quite highly for 25-27

Are you MBB? I’m sure it doesn’t matter that much, but you can definitely do it if you’re MBB. Will every tech job you’re a good fit for offer that, no, definitely not. But you can probably fetch that from 25-50% of them.

You can move to the buyside for a comp increase

Tech comp in the coming years will be highly dependent on where you think the market is headed

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
