I'm a senior now after four years with my company. It's my first promotion, but the raise was barely 5%, which feels kind of low for the jump in title. Is this a typical increase for most people when they move up internally, or is it on the lower side? I'm trying to decide if I should be happy with the new title or if I'm missing out on a better pay bump.

It's on the low side, especially if it comes with a lot of additional responsibilities/work. Might be worth using your new title to job hunt and see what you can find.

Good take

Title means more stress and expectations, that should come with more money.

maybe they were paying well at the top of the range so when promoted not a big raise? depends where u r and how big of a firm i'd expect a first year senior to make in high 70k to mid 80k in middle cost of living.

Also does that include any kind of merit increase or is the timing different for that? Need to keep that in mind because alot of places promote at the same time of annual compensation increases. From my experience I’ve seen promotion increased be anywhere from 7-15% but then usually there is another 4-10% merit increase which makes it 11-25% total comp increase.

Congratulations on the promotion, but you are right, that raise doesn't seem like enough. I would be happy about the new title but I would probably start looking elsewhere. It doesn't hurt to see what you can get paid for that role somewhere else.

Hii Sharks, I am currently with 12 L fixed and due for promotion within 6 months then my fixed might go with around 15.5 L with extra variable pay in PwC only. In pwc WFH option is there.

Now I got offer from KPMG where there are giving 16 L fix + 1 L JB. Also HR gave one day more to discuss. In KPMG need to go office at Bangalore.

Now is it worth to switch KPMG with that package by considering WOO, tax 30% effect ?

What amount I can tell KPMG to make my switch from PWC ?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
