I'm coming up for a merit raise cycle in the fall, looking for salary negotiation success stories. I'm drawing up notes, but could use some examples of pushback and how to overcome (specifically in ad agencies)

Merit increases are about 2-3% every year. You’re unlikely to get more than that. The only way to get a significant jump in salary is by switching jobs/companies.

Yea but still. You won’t get a huge raise in salary for the same job you’re doing. You will just the typical 2-3% raise that everyone gets.

Now, a promotion would be different. You would get more for a promotion.

Ah the good ole merit “cough” cost of living raise… be happy with what they give you especially coming out of a hiring/promotion freeze, if you want to make more, go find a new job and get them to counter offer 🤷‍♂️
