💼💬 Ever worked your butt off for a promotion or raise that was “definitely coming”… and then silence? Or worse — they handed you a new title but no extra pay? 😤 This is #ASpaceToVent. If you've got something on your chest about raises, recognition, or being underpaid, drop it here. Let's talk about the stuff we can't always say out loud.

Got a shiny new title last year with zero comp change. Still doing the same work..actually, more of it now and no one's brought up money since.

Too often to even recount here… 🙄

That’s when you start looking

Two years of next level performance only to be told there is no budget or "it's coming". My performance evaluation was still at next level and they smashed me into ground this year just because I let them know I'd seek another job within the same company.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
