I was offered a role that felt like a step up in responsibility but only came with a tiny raise. The hiring manager called it a 'stretch opportunity'. Is there anyone here who’s taken a pay-slightly-more-for-much-more-work job, and did it end up paying off in your next move?

No. My company just expanded my role without any raise at all.

Be very wary of something like that. These promotions without a raise are a trap, and they can mess up your earnings long term. If you stay with the same organization for any length of time, you'll be falling behind on the pay scale. It's like having a savings account that stops compounding.

It’s a tricky situation. Don’t take the opportunity and you get passed up. Take with the tiny raise and you fall behind. I would try to do a little research on similar roles and gather salary data. Glassdoor is a great resource.

"Stretch opportunity" is corporate-speak for "we want Director-level work at Coordinator-level pay." Sometimes it pays off—if you get the better title, meaningful scope, and can leverage it for a 20-30% jump at your next company in 12-18 months.
But if it's just more work with no title change? You're getting played. The "experience" rarely translates to higher offers without the title backing it up.
What's the actual raise percentage, and are you getting a title promotion or just added responsibilities?

What do you guys think about this milanese strap? Waiting for a rubber strap to come in and putting this on in the meantime. I’m having a hard time deciding if this is dressier or not vs the original. (more pics in thread.)

I feel like I've been lowballed, can someone explain the below breakdown please?

Base salary: 60k
Quarterly quota (per quarter): 107k
Quarterly bonus (per annum): 23k
130% Annual bonus = 11.5k
"23% commission on quota minus base": 37k (don't understand this)
"Proposed 23% commission on 150% quota minus base": 86.5k
Sales commission threshold per month: 22k
OTE: 122k
Cost/Sales: 28%

That base salary is lower than my previous base by a significant amount by 32.7%
