Based in Singapore, currently a 3 YOE mid level frontend engineer in Company A and it's my first job out of University. Interviewed at Company B, got an offer for a 5% base increment. However factoring other allowances / insurance from Company A, the increment from Company B is only about to 1-2% annually. Tried to initiate a negotiation but HR replied saying they are not giving the max range so that I have room to grow. How should I reply?

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!
