my coworker just got hired externally into a role one level above mine. i trained her two years ago.
i'm not even mad at her. i'm mad that she knew something i didn't — that the only way up here was to leave first.
what did you figure out too late?

She probably spent less time writing long, fictitious posts on fishbowl and just got on with it and did her job instead. You should try following her lead and see if it helps you.

Don’t know your company and team, so can’t say if your assessment is accurate. It might be.

An alternative can be—she is a fast learner, got the right opportunities for learning and growth outside your company, and grew meaningfully over the last two years…

I have been saying that for years. I have been a job hopper for a long time. Some people frown upon it but it is the only way to get a meaningful salary increase.

Out is always been always my highest jumps in salary.

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?
