I’ve officially hit the salary cap for my role after 7 years. HR says there’s no room for growth unless I apply for a higher position, but there are zero internal openings. Should I wait for a vacancy, or is it a good time to look elsewhere?

Are you in industry? This is the downside of industry. We have a great Senior who is in your position, as there isn't much room for growth with a small Team. I'm always crossing my fingers she stays, but I'll understand if she leaves.

Great point

Even an internal move will bear a small increase vs. external options.

smart

Yeah…

Case in point of why job hopping became a thing the past generation. With rising costs of living and few internal opportunities for advancement more and more people realized the only way up was out.

are you in public?

Probably lol

It's always a good idea to look and see what is available, both internal and external to your company.

Many times you will get a bigger bump in pay if you leave your company then staying

Totally agree with this..

Time to start looking for a new role, either internally or external.

Agreed.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
