Let’s talk promotions and negotiations around promotions. My friend works for a large telecommunications company and was promoted. They received an 8% promotion and were unhappy so they asked for an additional 3% and the company gave it to her.

How long were you in your role before you received a promotion?
What was the pay increase that came along with the promotion?
Did your company allow you to negotiate the promotional amount?

I was at my current company for two years before I was promoted. I got a 6% raise with my promotion. My company didn't allow me to negotiate a higher raise but I thought 6% was pretty good.

Two years before a promotion feels pretty common across a lot of U.S. companies. A 6% increase is respectable, especially when negotiation isn’t built into the process. Looking back, did the new role give you more visibility or long-term growth that made the increase feel worthwhile?

I’ve had roles for about six months before I got a promotion and other roles have taken close to three years. I wouldn’t say there’s one uniform answer for something like this. It’s all about the company you work for and what you bring at the table.

I was in my role for a little over two years before being promoted. The increase was around 6–8%, which felt reasonable at the time, though the scope of work definitely grew. Negotiation wasn’t really encouraged, but I did ask clarifying questions to understand how the increase was determined. Curious how others here approach negotiating when a promotion comes with significantly more responsibility.
