I’m interviewing for an internal role in the DTC space. I’m at manager level and the role is senior manager but same pay band. I have no idea how, but there is another 25k above my salary in the pay band. The HR rep in the first conversation said not to expect a pay increase. Any tips on how to negotiate a salary increase if I take the role?

I get - you should be lucky to have the job - vibes.

"Same pay band" with $25K of runway is not a no — it's a deflection. HR's job is to land you cheap; your job is to reframe it as a scope conversation. Senior Manager is a different title with different accountability — that's leverage. I'd go in with a specific number, tie it to the expanded scope, and make them say no explicitly rather than accepting the soft discourage. Did they actually define what changes in the role, or is it vague on scope too?

During my whole career I have given my first interview on last Saturday (18th June) in a different company.
