Has anyone ever gotten an outside offer purely as leverage to get a promotion internally? I've been passed over twice and I'm starting to think the only language my company speaks is "I have an offer." Feels manipulative but also I'm running out of options. Did it work for you and did it change how your manager treated you after?

If you go that route you better be ready to walk out the door. Never used it for leverage myself because if I’m looking there was a reason.

that makes sense!

Are you sure you shouldn’t be genuinely looking after being passed over twice?

You only leave. You never play the card. You’ve been passed over and will continue to be so. Time to look elsewhere.

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!

Currently I work for a small company that does the construction of small cell utility poles and roof top sites for the major cell carriers like VZW, T-mobile, AT&T and so on. I am a project coordinator but I do everything under the sun. Created project tracker. Submitti bids, sourcing material, negotiating price on materials, handling post construction inspections, scheduling sub contractors, notifying stakeholders, coordinating with construction managers - property owners - building management.

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.
