I received a promotion with a 5% salary increase but no additional long-term incentives (LTI). In the past, my annual performance increase included a 20% salary bump plus $20K in LTI, so I believe I was already on the higher end of the salary band. This promotion feels lower than expected. While I’m grateful, I also recognize that it’s an employer’s market, and the economy is in a strange place right now. Does this seem like a low promotion?

Yes, 5% sounds like a typical annual increase— not a promotion raise

Depends on your comp ratio!

My comp ratio was crazy high like 1.36 early on and my raised have gotten smaller and smaller

If you were getting 20% in the past, then they knew you were severely underpaid. Looks like you’re finally at market now if you’re getting 5%

found out i was already on the high end of the band, so the 5% increase was intentional to balance it out while still keeping me on the top of the distro with room to grow in the role. thanks!

Doesn’t sound like a promotion but a raise

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation.

I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
