94k as a first year senior is not being underpaid 🙄

like

Not as an SA... and again, "web experience" is about as broad and overused as "change management". OP listed a lot of non-heavy lift tech experience. I don't see any server side languages (and I would have expected OP to list C# or aspx if they were doing more serious Dev stuff in SP).

And there is a lot of self-deprecation in my post too: I have a similar skill set. 7 years of Sharepoint experience (with C# and aspx), 11 years of web design experience, experience with multiple CMS's. I didn't actually start to see gains on my skills until I applied it to a solution I could add value to and defend.

For what it's worth, its just good business to make your personal brand about more than your tech skills. I can hire a developer with an MS in CS in India for >$25 hr. Why would I want to pay $120k a year for someone with no hard coding experience? If you want to do well in this game, you have to be about the solutions you provide, not the toolbox you show up with.

Your skill set sounds identical to mine. Not trying to be an ass, but you (and I) are not really web development people with a resume like that. Simply not enough frameworks to trade on development alone. We are more like web handy men.

Best way to differentiate is to alloy your skill set with a business need and then trade on that as a solution. I.E. "experience with business process reengineering using sharepoint's workflow engine to streamline back office processes"

Yes.

Seniors devs get paid six figures. Even boot camps tell grads that offers go up to 120k.

...when you say JavaScript and "client side coding", sounds like you're not really a front-end developer. Any particular frameworks or stacks?

like

Unless by "web development", you mean JQuery, HTML, and CSS.

More like JavaScript, client side coding, SharePoint dev, SQL dev, analytics.

I came into EY as an experienced hire Senior 2 and made $102K so you're not far off

Pwc1, total BS!

Ok. Way to add to the convo, EY3.

Pwc1, the conversation ended once you said "not really web development people". 9 years of technology and web experience should bring at least 120k!

For perspective , I am 1.5 years in from undergrad at ACN making 95k all in. You are very underpaid

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law.

Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.

Switching team internally competing with external candidates. was asking a promotion for next grade midpoint but was ok to accept >=50% hike which i told hiring manager before the process start itself which he said will consider if I'm the one selected.

Attended 5 rounds-- 1 coding, 2 technical, 1 managerial, 1 hr. Now after 2 months telling me I'm the selected one, but offering me just 20% hike and same grade

Any chance for negotiations? Any tips or guidance are appreciated. please help

I got
Business results - S
Client/Customer/Stakeholder - S
Teamwork and Leadership- O


Is this a good rating?. My manager said they won't give SSS to anyone unless they are a promotion candidate. Why do they have to reduce the rating just because of that?

Is this going to affect my hike, bonus?. This is my first review at the firm. Please help.
