Assuming most of you have been promoted at least once in your life. What in your opinion is a normal range for a salary increase when you get promoted? I got a promotion but struggling to tell whether or not it's a decent bump.

First of all, a decent bump is all in perspective. I’ve had raises where it was 5% and I’ve had raises that were 20%. Trust me, each felt different… depending on where I was at the time.

One thing to consider … if you allow other people’s experience to dictate if you like your raise or not… it’s a HIGH probability that you will not like yours.

I can also share… salary increases are highly circumstantial. Depends on industry, location, years of service, formal education (perhaps), your contribution to company’s metrics, private company, your company’s financial health, etc. A 10% could be a huge celebration or a “this is ridiculous” moment.

Trust me. If you can think of 2-3 things you can do better or differently or add value to your life, your raise was great.

Just a personal opinion…. ☺️☺️

I’ve had a few different ranges - one role gave me a pay rise of 2k for promo from a manager to associate director. I found a new role elsewhere immediately.

Best pay increase for a promo was about 30%, most have been in the 10-15% range.

In the US the average internal promotion is 3-8%. That’s if you’re in the same role and just promoting and progressing. It can be higher if there’s a huge difference in duties for the role and with smaller companies. So far when I’ve been ready to promote, I promote with an external move which always gives me over a 30% increase in pay. I’m at a stage in my career this increase will be higher to achieve and the internal promotion year over year might make more sense until I pass a level of expertise that is valued at a chief or VP position at a fortune 100 company or consulting.
