I have a couple of questions for ZS fishes-
1. Is it possible to turn down a promotion at ZS? I'm currently happy with my responsibilities as a Decision Analytics Consultant and don't want any added responsibilities in the near future (next 5 years)
2. Is it possible to shape up a career path in the BC stream which doesn't involve business development? I don't want to get into working on SOWs and RFPs.

Im not searching for a new job but an acquaintance reached out about a similar role at a similar energy company.Turns out 2 ppl threw my name in the hat. I looked into it and the position was posted 2 weeks ago.Their director wants to meet.I bet pay is one of the first things to be discussed so that no one’s time is wasted.Am I crazy for not wanting to entertain it for less than 20-25% base pay increase?Is it selfish to ask for more? I’m sure most salary conversations end in negotiation anyways?
How early is too early to ask for a raise?

Your manager is stalling you out by not even mentioning the topic. Come back with a competitors offer in hand.
i hope i can get another offer!
I had a similar situation and what worked for me was following up via email after the performance review thanking my manager for their ongoing support, expressing my desire to continue growing with the company, and stating my request to revisit our conversation about a salary increase to keep up with market rates. I attached a data driven PDF letter with my accomplishments/metrics and research from Glassdoor backing up my request for a market adjustment. Things started moving after that. I received notification from my boss and their boss that they received my request and it would be reviewed with HR. My manager later shared that the letter was super helpful because it gave them something to share with their stakeholders to justify the salary increase. I ended up getting the 20% raise I asked for.
I think you should have mentioned it in your review, usually they go over them with you and you have to sign them. Sometimes you can negotiate terms for a higher raise than they originally put with the review, especially if you agree to fix certain behaviors and sign a 6 month contract saying it will be taken away if you dont improve. At this point how long ago was the review? Did you already sign anything stating a new pay range that you agreed to?
I once had to literally tell my manager that my review was crap and mention all the things that I had been going above and beyond on. I agreed on a few things I could fix and told them I would sign something because they wanted me to if I was going to get the raise I wanted. At that time it was a whole .60 cent I was fighting over, but Ive taken my experience with me to other places. Bring counter offers if you think you are being under paid and want to continue to work there.
you are right, i think i will set up another meeting to discuss it. thanks for the helpful advice!
