Have you ever taken on a new role with little to no salary bump and how did it play out for you? I’m currently considering a lateral move to get more experience, but my manager said it likely wouldn’t come with a raise, and if it does, it would be very small. I think it would help me grow, but at the same time, it seems like a lot of effort with no salary increase. Anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it?

I’ve seen people take that trade and it really depends on what you’re getting out of it. If it meaningfully builds skills or sets you up for a better role later, it can be worth it. But if it’s just more work with no clear upside, it’s a tougher sell. Kind of comes down to whether it actually moves you forward or just keeps you busy.

So true! All great things to think about. Thank you!

Any move in role comes with risk. But generally, lateral moves are good as long as your treat it as an opportunity to learn and gain experience. I would find someone in the next 'upward' role you want and ask if this lateral move will help you or be of no consequence.

Great suggestion! Thank you.
