During one interview, the salary offer was lower than I hoped, but I negotiated for a six-month pay review instead. It worked out well, but I’m not sure if that’s common practice. Has anyone else negotiated for a future raise or review as part of their offer?

Absolutely, I think this is a pretty common practice. A lot of companies want to see that you will be a good fit in the position before they offer up extra money.

That is honestly a great idea. I have never thought to ask for a pay review in the future as part of my package. Thank you for sharing this.

No, in my experience that usually doesn’t work out well. But glad it worked out for you. I think it’s better to get the correct and rightfully deserved pay from the beginning. Most of the time companies “promise” they’ll revisit compensation but rarely ever do. And honestly, what real difference does 6 months make? If they can give it to you in 6 months, why not just give it to you now?

Also, I guess it does depend on skill level and years of experience. I personally wouldn’t negotiate something like because I know what I bring to the table so I would want to be compensated properly from the beginning. But I can understand if someone who is newer to their industry and to the job market wants to negotiate something like that.

I hope you are not downsized after 5.5 months

We're not sure what those incentives look like yet, but here are some post-announcement rumors from my co-workers:

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.

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!
