Is it effective to go interview and get offers only so you can leverage the comp with your current company? I don’t want to leave and feel like I am being underpaid. I also feel if I “threatened” they would be willing to up my pay. Thoughts?

Don’t do this. If they aren’t paying you what you’re worth and they won’t unless you threaten to leave. They don’t value you. Also we’re about to hit a recession so if this works for you and you stay you’re likely to be the first one out. Because they already know you have a foot out the door and you’re likely making more than your colleagues

A1 with excellent advice.

My partner was a senior Ops lead at a biglaw firm and in her review, they told her she was incredible and asked if she had any questions. She asked for three things: (1) another head on her team, bc she was short-staffed for complicated reasons that don’t matter here, (2) for a few days off late in the year, and (3) for a $10k raise.

They said no to all of those things.

She went and found another job. When she told them she was leaving, they asked what they could do. She said she told them 4 weeks prior in her review. They said they’d do them all now.

She told me this and I said RUN. Never stay at a place that refuses to give the best people what they’re worth until they force their hand.

Depends on the company. This works in mine but doesn't work in all of them.

I have been doing this but I don’t disclose I’m interviewing. I’ve just told my supervisor I don’t feel my comp is market and what I think market is and where I should be….

I second the if you get an offer don’t just stay because current company will match comp. that’s a recipe for disaster but if you don’t get an offer it gives you good data points on what comp other companies are offering.

I’ve been in an in-house role since the beginning of the year and just gave 2 weeks’ notice to leave for a much better paying and better titled position.

Is this normal?

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so.

My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?
