No, just the added responsibility and a “do the job before you get the job!” from my managers. Not even a title bump.

Yep, been dealing with this scenario for almost two years.

Yes, standard when more green and ambitious. It’s exploitation in a way but you’ll grow faster, they get it cheaper. Until you recognize it and move on to right compensation. You can play the transaction to maximize the value you derive. Rinse and repeat every two years or so, you’ll be tops in no time. Then you’ll need to navigate the next level which will require embodying your worth while learning new boundaries. That’s a different post all together

I haven’t had this happen to me, but i will say that this calls into question the ethics of your line manager and the C-Suite. Are you at a holding company that’s merging?

If so, it’s a signal that the industry’s financials are in worse trouble than we thought

7 years in, 5 promotions, 1 merit increase. all of my "raises" came with promotion.

Must be nice! Are you at a hold co?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I'm currently on £60k at a start up. Just got offered a job at a games company with a salary of £50k + 15% bonus 😖 I immediately spoke to them and told them that is way below my current salary and they raised to £56k + 15% bonus which would put me on £64.4k total comp. I've said I'll think about it and hope they raise the offer again.
Should I not consider this at all if they don't at least match my base? I have been aiming for £70k-£80k when looking at new jobs
