At my previous company, I asked my manager about a salary adjustment well before the compensation cycle began. She said she would look into it. A week before I resigned, 3 months after the comp discussion, she said she was still looking into it. I don’t always think leaving is the solution, but sometimes it really is. What’s been your experience?

Leaving is almost always the solution if you’re looking for significantly better pay. I’ve never seen companies adjust more than like 5%. Even promotions in my experience are like 10% or maybe a tad bit more. I got 30% more by leaving the first time and like 50% more by job hopping a second time.

Honestly yes that seems like the best case especially if your skills are advancing and you’re not getting recognized for it

It sounds like you did the right thing. Some people are always looking into things. They're always waiting to hear from some mysterious figure upstairs who will provide the answer, but, come on, we all know what's going on with that. You're right, when they're just kicking the can down the road it's smart to just pack up and go.

I tried to get ahead of the comp discussions at least but yeah I was losing hope and I’m glad I made a move

It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
