If there’s no clear benchmark or data available on Glassdoor how do you best set salary expectation with potential employer? I don’t want to undersell myself but also don’t want to sound crazy. Thx!

You ask the recruiter what’s the total comp for someone coming at X experience level. If they press for a number, only give it once you know their range

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.
