I am working remote for a large holding Co on a pharma account. Joined this bowl and searching for Q&A on salaries, specifically yearly cost of living adjustment/raises outside of promotions.
I got 2.5% "merit raise" this year, and my teammates said that this was first time since pandemic started. What is the industry norm?

That sounds about right to me TBH. Not a lot of big raises in this industry unless you get promoted. How long have you been with your company

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.
