I thought my pay was fine until I started reading online forums. Now it feels like everyone in my exact role makes way more than me. I've checked online salary sites, but the numbers are so all over the place that it feels useless. How do you figure out if you're not being paid enough, or if you're just letting internet bragging get to you?

You need to check the avg salary for your area. Different areas have different pay based on cost of living.

You need to filter on the job salaries for your region / metro area and industry.

Salary can vary between different industries, regions, and company size.

There is such a wide variety depending on company size, industry, location, bonus structure, etc. Try not to get too wrapped up in comparison. Your best bet is to actually go interview for other jobs and see what you can get offered, along with the other benefits and details, and then see if you think there's a better situation available to you. If yes, then take the new job.

The best way to compare is going into the market and get a job offer to see how it compares.

Hi everyone,
I am an Operations Manager and trying to switch to Product Management through APM roles. I have done a 3 month fellowship and 2 projects.

What is the best way to bag a APM role with just one year work ex in pperations role. Will an internship help?

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).
