I’ve been in my role for 3.5 years with no raise or promotion. My manager knows I’m seeking growth, we’ve discussed it many times but nothing moves forward. He’s also mentioned exploring a different career path for me, but I never receive updates even when I follow up. My workload has actually increased during this time, and I’m hesitant to push because I’m always at capacity. I’m ready to advocate for myself. How can I confidently ask for a promotion with a significant raise?

It sounds like you need to raise the issue and bring specifics to the table and get an answer one way or the other. Some organizations, and managers, are good at kicking the can down the road and just leading people on. Make the case that you've grown in your job and you're a more valuable employee than you had been and your compensation should reflect that. And make the case that you should also get a promotion. If they persist in providing no answer, that's a message they're sending, and you should get serious about moving on.

What have your discussions looked like? It sounds like he is not being helpful in actually helping you get to a raise even though you have had conversations. Have the conversations had timelines / specific milestones associated?

He is telling you what he thinks you need to hear to prevent you from leaving. He could have made a raise and/or promotion happen, but has decided not to for 3.5 years. I would really suggest you start job hunting.

It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
