I was promoted with a bonus increase % increase but no base salary bump. Really didn’t get my head around it at the time and should have kicked back. But I was promoted another level the next year with a significant raise so didn’t have a long term impact

I guess sometimes people are looking out for you!

That happened to be I got what was essentially a promotion in name only. I had my title change and I was given some more responsibility, but I was still being paid the same. I realized it was a shady move and the raise was probably not going to be coming along. So I got serious about finding something else and move on. In a weird way I'm glad it happened as it gave me the motivation to make a move.

So you ended up moving and got a pay increase + the title?

Is that really a promotion then?

Honestly I ask myself that question

I’ve been given extra work that should have been a part of a promotion in both title and pay. I was never able to see it adjusted after that. Just used it to prove what I was capable of while interviewing at other companies.

True. Were you able to find other positions?

Yup

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments.

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore?

I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
