Got promoted to C this year but still anticipate being underpaid. My director pretty much confirmed that given market conditions. I want to switch jobs to be paid fairly faster. Given I know my value compared to my peers, do I wait until September when promotions go into effect and I’m actually a C to start applying to jobs? I also won’t know my new salary until end of August. Can I negotiate a salary not based on current pay but what I should be at compared to my peers?

1. List yourself as C to recruiters, it’s already confirmed.

2. Never say your current salary to recruiters. Ask for what you want.

Ty for the advice

Maybe I’m optimistic but GPS market is solid compared to others. Might not be as bad, but it’s always good to manage expectations.

Also firm policy is no readjustment for voluntary moves. So I couldn’t really push for it since that was policy at the time of the move.

Got the green light for C, also in GPS. Applied to a different company raised salary by 60%. Start now, you won’t regret it.
