Could use some advice. I just had annual review, got promoted and the typical 14% promotion raise from what was a pathetically low salary. Talked with manager about how low my salary is and he mentioned now that he’s in control of our comp (he just moved to manager track), we can take a look and try do something at mid-year review. Would it be appropriate to bring salary back up before mid-year review? I’m getting contacted about external roles paying 50% higher.

You’re unlikely to get a significant increase by staying at your current job. Best to pursue outside opportunities. Statistics show leaving for another offer results in much higher pay most of the time. You can try using the external offer as leverage to get more in your current role. But it’s almost always better to accept a new offer than to accept a counter offer from your current company.

14% is a pretty good raise percentage. Most comp budgets are already determine for the year, so there isn’t more to give you now. However come mid-year your manager may have more money to throw your way depending on company performance. Look at external offers. See what you can get.

That’s how my company is like too. I’m curious when the right time to ask is too.

Worth noting that I don’t want to leave and am not interested in the external role offered. Just looking to understand the best time to bring it back up

Stay in school. Keep learning perpetually. move away from this company.

Chase the money. Happiness comes later.

I would seriously jump ship and go where you're going to make more and gain more and different experience. Companies don't tend to want to raise your wage just because you're unhappy. They'll realize how expensive it is to replace you. Too bad for them.

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
