Another firm wants to bring me on at my current salary level, but they're talking up their bonus plan, which is seriously tempting. We barely get anything where I am now. Would you take a lateral for better incentive comp?

No, most firms have good bonus plans but in this economic environment the reality is the firms are either paying on the low end or no bonuses at all.

They can say anything they want about a bonus, but it’s not guaranteed. The person talking about the bonus may not be the person deciding the bonus. You say your are barely getting anything now, so you will still be barely getting anything but also be at the low end of seniority if they have to get rid of people.

Yes, if it's better incentive and youre not losing anything in terms of salary increases, decency of your boss, work life balance, other benefits etc. If incentive is the only difference and you have a decent boss, some stability, you like what you do and who you work with and dont feel like you're being undercut pay wise, I would stay.

Only if it's A&M, otherwise the bonus will not be worth it.

A&M underpays salary but overpays bonus, so if you're OK stretching what you get until a year or so later when a big drop hits (and working very hard for it), that's the place to be.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k.

I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Any JOB LEADS for me ?

Boss: I need you to stop challenging me on every decision.

Me: I don’t want us to have a confrontational relationship and I think we can agree something needs to change. When you make stupid decisions, that affects my business and it makes me feel like you’re not up to the job. That makes it harder for my team to do our jobs. I think to be an authentic leader I need to be radically candid with you and point our your mistakes. So are you willing to work with me on this?
