Anyone experience a significant salary bump shifting from a more traditional or comms-focused shop to tech-heavy digital work? Or vice versa being told your salary is now too high to go back?

You should see a considerable jump if the digital group is run right, because the margins can be significant there versus a strict hourly scheme.

I could never justify my pay on traditional comm work. Updating the same web platform each month, while a heavy initial lift to build, is like 40k a month for maybe 10 hours across the team. All that’s needed is a little R and Tableau work.

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

1. Taking ownership for entire team deliverables.
2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.

Is she working on my revised offer letter ?
