I’ve been handling responsibilities that technically belong to a higher-level role, and part of me feels like I should push for a title bump along with a raise. But I’m not sure which one to prioritize first. Is it smarter to negotiate the title or the salary before the other?

I'm not sure why one would want to prioritize one or the other. If forced to choose, however, I'd try to get a raise. When I go to the grocery store no one cares about my job title, but having money matters a lot. Ideally, if you can move into a higher-level role a compensation boost would come with it, so in that sense you could shoot for both by prioritizing the title.

I would go for the salary, personally. The title doesn't really do much and there's no universal standard for titles. But money is money and you can use that to invest, save, etc.

If you’re consistently demonstrating work beyond your JD you need to have regular check-ins with your manager and discuss your growth. These types of conversations shouldn’t be a surprise to you or your leadership team.

Prioritize conversations around career pathing. Then, your promotion and pay will follow.

To me, they are one-in-the-same, title and the pay reflect the work you are doing. If there is a job description in Qdocs for the level you feel reflects your work then outline how what you are doing lines up with that is listed. Each title should have a corresponding pay ban.

I'll take money over title 10 times out of 10.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps.

No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.
