I was told I am being promoted from Senior to Manager this cycle! What should I expect as salary increase (% wise)?
For context, I have been in public/private accounting since ~2017 from big 4, private, top 10, now mid-size regional firm—Senior 2 years at this firm (2 spring & fall busy seasons). PA/NJ/DE area. Have CPA, MST, & MAcc (I know, overkill). I’ve always just accepted the standard fiscal YE raise. Should I expect a larger raise w/ new title/responsibility or ask if it seems ~SALY/low?

Depends on your current salary. For example, if you're at the top of the pay band then your % increase wouldn't be as high as someone at the lower end of the range, assuming they give everyone the same comp. As far as whether it's too low, there's not much you can do besides getting a new job elsewhere. Imagine if firms gave us more money for just asking - they'd go bankrupt obliging every joe and Sally who asked for it.

Congratulations. Take the title and leave.

I’m working in a large fund; market neutral public market strategy funds; am about to be recommended for a promotion to associate. However, an analyst position just opened up internally in Credit, which is where I aspire to be for the next ten years. More growth and more intellectual challenge. I’m conflicted about applying for a lateral transfer and losing out on a promotion. Will I be missing out a promotion or should I negotiate a promotion as part of my application to this role ?

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low).

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
