I currently work at a big start up and made a lateral move to another team a few months ago with five years experience. Since then , I’ve created a whole new service line and took over many of my managers duties. As I took a paycut to join this team - I’m pushing for a raise and title change. Is this reasonable?

Highly. It’s an employee’s market right now.

For sure but definitely be strategic about this. What would the new title (what’s in between you and your manager)? What KPIs or metrics indicate that your service line is doing well or successful? Does your manager or their boss currently agree that you’re doing an exceptional job? What about your peers? What does the market say about people with your same skills?

I haven’t made a move like you before, but when I’ve interviewed for lateral positions (or even jobs with lower pay), I always ask what the review cycle looks like (and if there’s opportunity for off-cycle promotions) and what the requirements are for the next level up (I usually have that convo again with the new boss). That way it’s very transparent what the requirements are for promotion/raise for both sides. Makes it a much easier goal-oriented process.

Good luck!

Sure!

If they can't afford to give you a pay raise, consider asking for some other type of compensation like shares in the company as a short/long term incentive.
Ownership in the company will stay with you even if you leave that company in the future and shows you want the company to thrive.

I came into a hedge fund job as an analyst in February of this year and didn’t negotiate my bonus at the outset. I was coming from tech and needed a green card so didn’t have much room to do so.

With bonus season coming up, I have a feeling my PM is going to underpay me. Should I bring up the subject myself? Also, how do I get a sense of what I’m worth? I did not trade but was the main data guy and built a tool that is indispensable for our process. Is 10% of his cut of PnL reasonable?
