Helping current employers prep job spec for my replacement. Salary was a factor for me leaving but minor relative to other things.

During editing reviews a top leader added a line stating base pay and bonus. The base pay is significantly higher than what I’m on (I’m below market average). Been with them for nearly 8 years and been referred to as a top player (I carried out multiple roles to get biz through covid).

Is this normal? Should I bring this up?

This is pretty common right now. They can’t hire back in on what they were paying you. External hires always come at a premium. That’s why it such a bad move when companies don’t negotiate or try to retain their talent. They’ll pay more to hire someone without experience and still need to pay to train them and hope it works out.

Probably nothing concrete but mostly peace of mind. I don’t really want to shame them, but I do want to make them aware that I’m aware that what they’ve decided to do is not aligned with what they’ve been telling me (that I’m a valued team member, but that they had no budget for the raise I’d asked for).

I’ve really gone above and beyond for this company, especially during covid. They’d like to end on good terms, for the most part I agree but this is a bit too on the nose, and I’d like to stick up for myself somehow.


Then again it’s just another reason To leave! Just such a shame, I’d always held them to a high regard and trusted their integrity.

Hi, I’d like to gauge folks for some input — I received an offer for $100k at a different company in the same industry, 2 YOE. This is an HR / compensation analytics role as opposed to my current product analytics role. This is a less technical role and I’m worried that it may affect future prospects. For context, the offer is about 25k more than I currently make. Thoughts?
