I just received a promo from jr to mid level strategist after 2 yrs, 3 months. Previous to that, I was in account for 2 years. When I made the jump to strategy, salary stayed the same. Now, with this promo, I'm making about the same as I did as a jr strategist with OT (now as mid lvl I wouldn't get OT). Internal moves are the worst here (they did the same thing to me when I went from AAE to AE). Anyone have advice besides leaving (I'm already looking)? Jr (60k + OT, mid 70k no OT)

That seems shady. Yea, just leave.

Wait you got OT at 60k? Nice. Also agencies don't tend to give you big raises unless you have leverage/counter offer.

Did you ask for more? You can negotiate a promo salary, just do it in a timely manner (before your next paycheck if possible).

The way they told me was very "matter-of-fact," not a conversation, more like a "here it is." I brought it up and was told they would try to have a convo about it but because of COVID they don't know what's possible. I work at a big agency that has been getting work so although to understand, it still sucks!

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
