In my experience, causally applying while being unhappy in your current role isn’t a recipe for success. I would spend a day over the weekend cranking out a dozen apps, then maybe one night a week following up and sending more apps. It’ll either light the fire under you to start applying aggressively, or you’ll realize you’re happy in your current spot.

That’s enough for you to hear/learn about other roles, get a few interviews, and really assess if the grass is actually greener.

They aren’t offering an increase in base pay and giving me the responsibility of management without the title. Yesterday, I received a PIP is this retaliation?

Looking for some fellow UK PM thoughts, please!

Work in Tech in the UK. Appraisals have started, everyone is being given a 5% raise, base, due to inflation. I'd been told I would be getting more than that to then be told it was < 2% more. Am I wrong to feel ungrateful?

For context, I've seen recruiters post about PM's with similar YoE asking for > £60k and I'm on less than 75% of that after this 'rise'. I have ~4YoE and been in this role about 18months. Business is not yet making a profit.
