Is it not normal to expect to be paid more than you were at your last gig? The comp offers I've been getting have all been in the same range as I'm making now, and when I mention that, I'm being told that they can't afford me. Is this happening to anyone else?

The thing is, starting/changing jobs is the singular best chance you have to increase compensation. You likely won't get a raise for at least a year, and it almost certainly won't keep up with inflation. Even if you get promoted, you won't get the bump in compensation you think you should.

Right now, they need to hire someone to fill the position, and are the most generous they will ever be. If they're not going to make it worth while now, you will NEVER make up lost ground/lost time at that particular company. Changing jobs/companies is the best, and possibly only, chance you have to increase your pay rate.

Keep looking the right one will be able to afford you! That’s a cop out excuse IMO.

Not looking right now myself, but it has before. It's normal to not want to move for the same amount you're currently earning. It's also normal for companies to pay as little as possible. With the state of things right now, I'm guessing they could technically afford you; they just don't want to spend the money when they know so many people are out of work and will be willing to work for less.

This happening to me, and it is awful.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
