I got this offer for a strat role at VML Health. The salary is just slightly higher than my current salary, so wondering if it’s worth making the move. Any thoughts?

Don’t expect a salary increase for at least 3 years.

Whether you get annual "merit" raises depends alot on your level - if you're hired at a certain salary band, you're basically locked in for 2 years.

Lateral title move + into Health + barely any pay bump is a triple L.

Seriously DO NOT TAKE IT unless you are currently unemployed and absolutely desperate. You will be starting Mid > Senior process from scratch, it will be exponentially harder to get out of health once your in it, and your pay *will* (statistically speaking) remain unchanged for next two years. Whatever small pay bump is tempting you is NOT worth putting yourself in a worse situation longer term.

Also FWIW a move from consumer to Health usually comes with a +$25-30k base difference. Go on VML’s open careers page right now and look at the currently open Strat Director vs. Strat Director (Health) role pages and compare their two starting salaries for reference.

Also, increases are usually 3%, if at all, so keep that in mind.

Is the role the same level as your current role? Or would it be a move up in title but only a small increase in salary? Also salary shouldn’t be the only deciding factor and things you’ll need to consider for yourself and YOUR decision - Are you happy where you’re currently at outside of the pay? Do you like your team/work environment? Are you enjoying the clients you’re on? Do you find yourself dreading having to wake up and get to work or are you in a good mood about it each day? Pay isn’t always the end all be all or a job and chasing money alone can sometimes get you into a “the grass isn’t always greener” situation.

honestly in this job market I’d grab it
