Have 5 YOE & currently a first yr manager making $135k. Expecting bonus of $10-15k end of year + somewhat of a raise. Not expecting a promotion for the next 2 years.

What would you set your expectations at salary-wise when looking for new jobs if you were me?
At this point does it make the most sense to just stay until I get the bonus/raise and jump after?

In a similar boat - not looking to leave but I am targeting 165k+ for any offers in the discussions I have. Didn’t seem to phase recruiters I have talked to and have said it’s aligned to their bands. Also I mentioned I would only leave after November.

Didn’t do much research as the calls caught me off guard

This is super helpful! Turns out I was really lowballing myself in initial conversations…

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
