I currently work as a project manager, I just found out my co workers in the same position make 10k more than I do. I currently make 63k co workers make 72k and 75k. I have been performing duties outside of my job description in two languages. I have been finally offered a promotion to be a qualitative researcher but the promotion is only 2k than what the current project managers make. Should I accept the promotion although it’s more work and only 2k more than the project manager salary?

Interview elsewhere. I made 90k at PM.

Are you in a big city? (I suppose it doesn’t matter as much these days with remote opportunities) Also, maybe decide if you want to stay in project management or not. If it’s only about salary, interview elsewhere. I was at a company that kept me at a lower salary range no matter the title because they thought I needed them more than they needed me—I left and gave myself a big fat $30k raise.

Thank you! Yeah we’re in a big city but the position is remote.

Thank you for your advice!

If they aren’t willing to rightsize you THEN add on $$ for the promotion it’s time for you to go, if pay is a priority.

Would love some thoughts on what title structure makes the most sense for my agency /translates within the advertising industry. Our Project Management dept was pretty flat until recently. We’ve build out a real team — I’ll be getting promoted to an associate director level (I’d say that — that’s not what we call it) — and I want to make sure this title makes sense. Now would be the time to change it within our dept if we’re ever going to. Currently we have: (see comments)

More often than not, PM owns the tasks of ensuring their team and agency log their time, but I argue that it is not our sole responsibility. Finance and Leadership often stray away from penalizing offenders.
