Just referred a friend for an open role at my agency. She got the offer. I get $3,000.
She's coming in at $15K more than I'm making in the same title.
So my company will pay me to recruit someone they'll pay better than me — but a merit increase to close that gap "isn't in the budget."
The math isn't mathing. Your referral bonus is essentially a severance payment for the moment you realize what just happened.
Have you ever referred someone who ended up earning more than you?

Recently, the CEO and my boss, the VP gave me the latitude to promote myself and "write my own" job description. I've been the Marketing Manager of this company for about 7 months. Already received 1 raise.

Much of the work in my "new" job description, I've already been doing. My currently salary is $70K. New title is Director of Communications and Systems Integration. What is a reasonable salary increase here.

I have about 7 years experience in this area.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
