Hi team, I have officially been promoted to Senior Recruiter, however they only gave me a $5k bump from $72k to 79k. That’s basically below the median standard 10% raise bracket. Being one of the highest performers and trainers, I feel as though maybe I should at least receive $85k at minimum. However, the terms “budget” and “company profits” being beneath forecast are the biggest reasons that I am not receiving a high salary. I understand times can be tough, but any advice to negotiate?

Im due for a promotion to VP and I’ve been told it’s coming. I am a top performer, it is overdue, and my org has done nothing to adjust for inflation. Since promotions represent the one opportunity to accelerate comp outside of changing jobs is it reasonable to negotiate on the details? In the past it’s always been “you’re lucky to get this” sold as a gift - but IMO they have a lot of ground to make up for and I’m curious how I’d counter a lowball offer. Am I crazy?

How would you approach or handle getting a verbal offer for a new job that’s within the range you want but they want you to accept, reject, or counter immediately on the phone.
