Do salaries level out every year? I was supposed to be a manager coming in but I was brought in as a Senior 3.

3 months later they promoted me to manager but only with a 3% increase in salary...

OP, curious if you’re an MBA or experienced hire. The 3% is hilariously low, but wondering if you were at the utmost top of the band as an S3.

No one cares. 30-40 years of career you’ll have lots of time to stew or get over it. May I recommend getting over it early

Accepting a position with promise of promotion is stupid. Everyone will always have the what have you done for me lately mentality, so unless you’re killing it, there will always be some excuse as to why you didn’t get the promo. However it looks like you got the promo but received a crap raise

Promo with no raise is not a promo

@ACN1 what?

What are you implying? I’ve been at Deloitte 10 years. Not counting the first year, my merit increase has averaged 4.4%. And promotion years were below that average.

So ... do companies level out salary based on level or not

Same thing happened to me. Come in and prove your self as a senior. Get promoted at year end. You prob came in at the manager pay band. I came in making more than first year managers as an S3.

Do they even out...very slowly. I recvieved a low raise from S to M also despite a great rating but got nearly same raise as an M with a 3. Your raises will increase now that youre M.

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
