I am an IT manager at a small manufacturing company that is in the commercial aerospace and DOD manufacturing space. I manage everything IT and have one other person and an intern currently for around 250 employees. I have been there for just 15 years and it’s stressful. I don’t feel like I am paid enough as now I have NIST 800-171 and CMMC to deal with as well. I am paid with bonus at $120k a year. I have started looking elsewhere because I am just not happy anymore and underpaid for what I do.

Hi -

Getting ready for my first comp conversation with my manager this week and wanted some insights on the banking industry raises.

Can anyone please provide any insight on how raises typically work in this industry? I know bonuses are a big component, but does total comp increase year over year? Or will that increase with a promotion only, and till then the target bonus is the number to expect. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Think the below is a good offer, though the recruiter used "Sr. Manager" title while internally its only Manager level with "promise to elevate soon". Recruiter also said this is their max deal (take it or leave it):

Current company: cloud consulting, $190k base, $10k bonus, no stock

New company: fintech, $220k base, 15% bonus, $100k stock paid equally over 4years.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
