I think staying loyal might be costing me. I've been at my company for six years and make $78k. One of my colleagues who left and just got rehired is starting at $88k for the same work. It's wild that quitting and coming back is worth a $10k raise while I'm stuck where I started. I think it's time to say something. How do I talk to my manager about this without sounding bitter?

Hang on, you haven't gotten a raise in 6 years ("I'm stuck where I started")? If that is accurate, you really need to evaluate what your worth is on the market right now or ask for a raise. That's unconscionable.

Your manager knows how much you make and likely is also aware of how much other seniors in your firm make or could make a good guess if he/she is part of the salary committee or compensation setting process.

Unfortunately true

If I hadn't gotten a raise in six years, I would be looking for a new job. You should be getting a raise every year. If not, it is time to find a better company my friend.

OMG, get the heck out. Youre not appreciated. Id give a one day notice and out i go. At 6 years, you should be breaking $100k, unless in low cost, but even then id say still in the low 90s. I was making $150k at year 6 and that was 4 years ago.

I started at $40K in 2014 and broke $100K in 2019. Don’t talk. Just get out.

Loyalty to a company died 20-30+ years ago.

This is why so many people, especially the younger employees, will change jobs every 2-3 years. Usually you will get a bigger pay raise by changing companies every few years compared to staying at the same company for 20-30 years.

Do you get performance reviews?

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits. Director recently gave me add’l merit-based raise (after my annual raise, been here 14 months) & slight title change to Marketing Comm Specialist II.

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.
