Hi there! I recently received a promotion at my company. I am extremely greatful, but the raise I was given is under my desired amount. I have done my diligence and researched my new role in my market and found that it is below average. I have pulled data from both Glassdoor and Salary .com to backup my rationale. Are there other tools or potential strategies I could use for when I meet with management next week? I appreciate it.

Those 2 tools are a good start. I would look at job postings with the salary range attached to them and see what the market is like. I'm in the media and the salaries vary wildly from place to place and with experience.

I know for me, I don't have much budget to offer raises right now to my team but a title doesn't cost anything and will help them grow their career ultimately. I also work with them to give them new tasks and projects that I know will make them more desirable when they will be looking for their next step.

I would bring up what your expectations were and how you can work toward that. If you have good bosses they will be honest and tell you if it's something they will ever be able to pay.

In my case I rarely stay at a place for more than 3 years. Earlier in my career I was after titles so I could get a 25-30% pay bump every time I move.
But... This industry is harder on Junior/mid-level for sure.

Also there is no pairing in my project. Any suggestions on what should be done would be welcome.
