I just got stuck with a "promotion" that doesn’t come with a raise. Got told I’m being moved to a higher role, but there’s no pay increase for now. They hit me with the “we’re evaluating budgets” excuse. Has anyone accepted a title bump first, then successfully fought for the money later? Or is this a trap?

It’s not a promotion if it’s not a raise. It’s a title change. I wouldn’t accept it until the budget is there.

Start looking. If they all of a sudden "found" money when you tell them you found another job, leave and don't look back.

Use the new title to get the better salary at another company. Don’t wait to start applying and interviewing, in this market it could take over a year to land a new job. Hopefully you get the higher pay at that time.

Looks like you should hint to them you are evaluating your own marketability as well.

Hi guys, i have a current CTC of fixed 30L and I got a variable ~8L (32%). I heard that Bofa doesn't give bonus so what is the ideal one can quote the HR and should look reasonable?
PS - I heard that Bofa gives an average hike of 10% whereas in consulting I have always received hike > 20 or above.
Given this and markets I was hoping for ~50L (considering 30+8)? Any suggestions. Also they are in an urgent requirement for the role to be filled. I need suggestions on this number. Thanks in advance

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
