I’ve worked at Allstate for 4 years as a fast track inside property claims adjuster. When I was brought on, I made $48,000. Now, I make $62,800. Recently, I was offered a role as a coordinated adjuster for $65,800. I heard that the new hires were being paid a much more competitive salary. Would you say this amount is on par with what I should accept?

There’s typically a higher budget for new hires vs retention. If you’re staying with the same employer and getting a promotion or making a lateral move, you may not see much of a change in your salary. If you apply and interview at another company, a competitor make an offer that’s higher than your current employer. If they make an offer lower than your expectations, you can always provide a range of your salary expectations.

I would ask for more. That seems a little low to me.

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue. The CEO says we "can't afford it" and that "there are things that matter more than money." That's easy for someone not living paycheck to paycheck (during an inflation crisis) to say. I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself.

Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
