Hey ladies! I need some advice. I interviewed for an internal role and was told I was a very close 2nd to an outside candidate. In the meantime, I have been made the interim manager and can now see that I am paid $32k less than my male co-worker with the same title and experience. The pay gap is adjusted for tier level ($53k difference actual). I didn’t feel comfortable bringing this up, but I did ask for a pay adjustment based upon my experience and the fact that I was almost promoted as I am

You’ll always get lowballed if you change positions internally, even if it’s a promotion. You’re always better off looking for a job externally.

I think once they have solidified they are going with you then yes. I haven’t been in your position but it sounds like they are trying to corner you by making you aware of another candidate yet giving you a low offer. If it is higher than what you are making now move forward and negotiate but it sounds like they weren’t planning on paying you what you are worth in the first place.

Currently near the bottom of my pay range with 6 years of experience. Do you think I should bring up the pay gap between my coworker?

You are now ready to charge your worth. They knew you would see that. Do what you need to do. Good luck not that you'll need it ☺️

A few things: 1. be weary on the “interim” role, if you were going to get it, it would be yours already - now you are babysitting until they find or secure the preferred fit. 2. There is not much you can do with the pay gap issue except leave or request that your pay-scale threshold is reviewed to fit your current skills. Probably not what you wanted to hear but the harsh reality is that even in 2024, women are still facing the same problems that have been persistent over the decades.

Another option is to test your worth in the external market. Interview to see what offer(s) you receive, and if you love your current company, let them know about your external offer(s) giving them the opportunity to match. If the love is mutual, they will either match it or get you close to it.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

I’m an ERISA consultant for Marsh providing 3(21) and 3(38) services. I am interested in learning the opinion of in house counsel.
