I’m in line for a promotion soon. I came into the company near the top of the VP/senior counsel band and with the expectation that I’d be promoted to AGC after a moderately long period. The pay band for the SVP/AGC counsel starts right about where I’d be with my normal 3% raise, but generally runs 15% higher than my current band. GC will likely try to manage their budget. Ignoring the math, what have others experienced when being promoted like this (what kind of raise relative to their band)?

I would look at a salary guide and show what you are worth in the market. They shouldn’t get a discount just bc you’re already there - they should value you appropriately. It’s better if you have independent evidence to support your ask. I used the Major Lindsey and Africa salary guide to support a raise and got about $80k total comp bump when I was promoted.

That makes sense! Totally understand. I think it probably will largely depend on how they are/how they view you too so this will be pretty subjective but stand firm and advocate for yourself!

Hope you do better than me. When I moved to a similar band I got 1% when the standard was 3%. No raise with the promotion. Was told I was already paid more than others (my old company was acquired and it paid better than the acquirer).
Yes, should have left but only have about 8-10 years to retire and have not found anything with comparable pay. In a niche area.
