Interviewed and got offered a promotion at my current company (Internal audit). Promotion was barely $15K more. I was expecting $30K more, going from individual contributor to people leader/SM. I’m also relocating somewhere 12% higher. The salary was non-negotiable and they’re not willing to give me relocation assistance. I accepted verbal offer after I was told if they knew I’d needed more, they’d choose the other candidate. I feel taken advantage of and excitement is gone. Any advice?

Take the promotion & immediately “heat check” the market for a new job. Recommend doing this every time you secure a promotion

Completely agree with the comments to take the promo but immediately look for new jobs. When I first knew I was getting promoted to manager it was a lot easier to apply for manager jobs elsewhere (even before my promo was effective it helped).

Given it’s an internal promo at the same company there’s not the usual need to be staying in the new role for a set period before splitting.

I’m in my 4th year at a small plaintiffs’ firm. Past two years I’ve received meager raises (5k) and terrible bonuses (3k). My boss prides himself on allowing me to gain experience so I have more courtroom experience than most attorneys with twice the experience. As I’ve applied for other firms, I’ve been denied interviews based on how my boss is perceived in the community. I’ve gathered professional references from opposing attorneys and other attorneys we work with but still can’t land. Help
