I have been with a large manufacturing company for 10 years in various roles in quality. Mostly engineering and supervisory responsibilities. I recently applied for a department manager role at one of out MS site just south of Memphis.
I am happy with salary / bonus range offered.
I am more worried about the relocation package + sign-on bonus.
I am a homeowner, married, 4 kids.
What is an average relocation package vs. great relocation package in those cases?

Sign On Bonus for internal position is a little unusual, tbh.

Relocation varies, but I have seen 20-30% of base salary as a typical range for the assistance with 2-year clawback.

Great Relocation? One-year or less in clawback and grossed up relocation payments so that the net payment to you is the agreed upon amount. The taxes are ugly if they move your home goods.

Speaking from the experience of someone who had a not-so-great relocation package. I had a lump sum of 1k and some discounts with partnered moving companies. The moving companies were extremely expensive and not worth it for me. I wasn’t exactly moving exotic cars and Faberge eggs. That all being said, I really wanted the location and would have done it for nothing.

Right now it seems like relocation pacakges are hard to come by because there are so many people looking for jobs. Might be easier to negotiate a sign-on bonus to be honest with you.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
