Hi All, I’m a recruiter for a $4B 2,000+ employee construction commercial real estate company. I have 8 total years of construction recruiting experience and have been with my company for 5 years. In March of 23’, I’m due for a promotion to Sr. Recruiter/Talent Acquisition lead.I will have 3 recruiters reporting to me. Im currently at $80k base salary and am wondering what I should be looking for in my raise? Im based in Chicago and work fully remote. I am thinking I want $100k. Is that too low?

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Hi All, I recently found that I was getting paid 10% lower(in base salary but all other things being equal) than another APM on the team. I found that I’m in fact the lowest paid on an all male APM team. Do y’all have suggestions on what I should be doing to build my case for a raise? How do I go about eliminating that this may not be some sort of discrimination but we’re getting paid based on merit? I haven’t received any feedback from my boss on my performance and shoulder equal responsibility

I recently learned from 3 different employees that left (voluntarily) they were making 98-105k. They were outside candidates and were all hired within the last year and for the same position, and same regional territory. I have worked for the company 3+ years and went from a core position, to large loss. I was given a 10k raise putting me around 78k. Yes.... some of these individuals have Lardge Losss experience but does that really make a 20-25k difference? Any advise!?

Have people received inflationary raises? My dad received a letter stating that they’re giving him a 6.5% raise + a one time lump sum of $750 bc of inflation, retroactive to July 1st. He works for a university and is part of a union. Kind of feel like my company is being shady because I work in CRE & we do raises + bonuses in February which was when I was planning to ask for an inflationary raise. But I feel like a lot of companies have done this without having their employees ask?
