I have an offer doing pretty much my same job at a smaller firm. It’s only a 6% base raise but they are giving me a bonus each year to make up for the amount my salary falls short of the salary number I gave them that it would take for me to leave. Would you take the offer?

Is that bonus gonna be in writing 🧐🧐

So what’s going to happen after three years? Are you gonna have to look for another job that will pay more? Also are you leaving your current firm just because of pay or are there other factors? If it’s just pay, I’m not so sure I would do it

They are going to give you a bonus every year? Why not just make that part of your salary? Highly suspect. Don’t fall for it.

I’m assuming because if they gave it in the base I’d be over the cap for my level?

6% increase is whack. Move only for 15% minimum

I would not do that they should compensate for losing your current network in salary

This sounds like a way to keep their costs down, since it depends on you staying until they pay out the bonus each year.

No. Get that bonus amount x3 as a signing offer bonus payable immediately. Then… maybe.

I would say it depends… I left my last job for a promotion before the recent job market w something similar. Have gotten good raise based on performance and bonus multipliers and stock. Bet on myself and it paid off. Big overall pay change for me now. Good luck either way… I almost forgot- better work hours here too…

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?

Hi all. My 6mo rvw is approaching in <2mo. I am aware I will receive a performance-based raise, but not sure how much. My student loan payments kick back in shortly after and I could use some advice on how to ensure that raise accommodates as much of my new debt as possible. I have over 6 years of various office and FOH experience, but no degree. I often receive praise from coworkers and intend on revising my SOP to record every one of my tasks in my current position to cover my basis. Thoughts?

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry. Curious as to what is a fair salary in todays climate. We’re a series C fintech company based in NYC. I’m being considered for the role because I’m one of the strongest presenters on the team. It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.
