At the start of the year, my manager usually sets new goals and priorities, and I’ve wondered whether that’s a good moment to align compensation with expanded expectations. Has anyone successfully tied January goal-setting conversations to a salary discussion?

I feel like that is the perfect time. Your manager is setting out expectations and giving you more tasks and goals, your compensation should be adjusted to meet these expectations.

Agreed! Thank you

Your comp adjustment is based on your last year’s performance and not what you may or may not do in future. You cannot get prepaid for what you plan to do. Goals should be based on what you want to achieve to further your career ambitions , role , promotions etc…comp is one of the outcome of your achieving those.

If you role was expanded in the previous year , then you should’ve brought it up to your manager in Q4 of last year so that they could consider that when determining this year’s comp.

That’s very fair. Thank you. That’s a lot of what I was wondering about

you can bring up the manager you're interested in expanding ur scope and want compensation to match. and a timeline to check in later how you're doing

I feel that's a good way to feel out what's possible before going to far in

If you can find a good opening for the conversation, sure, January is as good a time as any. Be prepared to talk up what you accomplished in the last year and make the case that you're a more valuable asset to the organization than you had been when your current salary was decided. That theme of growth is important, weave that throughout the conversation.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
