My company is not offering any COL adjustments this year, not even the yearly 1-5% raise they've been giving out in the past. How bad is this?

It's not great. While inflation is being a bit overhyped by the media, things truly are getting more expensive, and your salary should reflect that. There are plenty of companies offering annual raises.

Sadly no cost of living / inflation adjustments (unless you’re at the top) is pretty common.

Not great. But lots of places did that this year. It has been horrible.

Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing! Additional info: my company is a subsidiary of a fortune 100, but a small fraction of the company was just acquired by Blackrock. Does that make the situation any different? I thought the Blackrock acquisition would make things better (they really hyped it up) but I'm not too sure now...

Nope!

6 years at a start up and the first to break through Mm and now Ent accounts. I broke the comp plan. I was paid a lower commission rate as the first rep hitting high numbers.

To save their asses they promoted me and gave me a small base bump but kept my commissions % low so that my high number was my new at plan.

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

I don’t want to leave my role yet & my boss says she thinks she can make the salary bump happen for may. I’ve received 2 offers elsewhere & turned them down & just got one for 25% pay bump. it’s getting harder to stay on when I know I could be making more.

They have me at $63,000 salary, but I work 60-70 hours a week due to the work load. Now they hired a new marketing employee, that was started at double my salary, and I feel very offended by this.

Hello FishBowl,

I’m in the final rounds of my interview process for a NYC Hedge fund, non tech role. The recruiter mentioned the compensation package is bonus heavy which can be multiples of base salary. Though they will guarantee a full bonus (sign on + year end) for my first year. 300k target

My current role/company is salary focused so I’m out of my element negotiating the bonuses.

What type of questions should I ask the recruiter about the bonus payouts? Vesting?

I am currently doing my full-time internship at a startup where I am getting paid 17$/hr. I will most probably be continuing with them in Fall as a part-time and asked for an upgrade to 25$/hr. I asked for that upgrade because I already have around two years of experience outside of Canada as a social media executive in a multinational company. I am currently doing a masters degree at Concordia so I believe 25$/hr would be more appropriate. Am I aiming too high?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working with management on a promotional offer. I've never negotiated before, and always accepted the first offer
My question is, I have identified a certain range that I feel better aligns with with current expectations, along with the addition of more responsibilities and expectations. When communicating that, should I I provide my highest expectation and negotiate from there?

My concern is, if I provide a range, they might just go with the lowest of the range.

I am going to counter with 100k and 8k signing bonus and provide them with my reasoning. The salary range on the job posting is 84k - 99k - 109k. Is 8k more insulting? Should I ask for 102k? The recruiter told me they are targeting low 90s when we first started talking, fyi. I also heard this company doesn't do signing bonuses so we will see about that.

Thanks
