My partner has, for the last 3 years, been the co-head of a business unit within an investment bank. Six months ago, the role of sole head of the business unit was advertised, interviews took place and after a lengthy process, the decision has been made to appointed my partner as the head, but no change the job grade! The reasons given are so that my partner may further upskill stakeholder management skills. Review in grading and salary in 6 months more. Is this reasonable?

Sure sounds reasonable

6 months more…so around february? When most of the street collects their year-end bonus / promotions often announced? Yeah not an issue at all

Investment banks follow a promotion/comp schedule. So if the new role was given out of review/comp season, this makes sense.

Does he know how much the other co-head makes?

It sounds like your partner is about to get a big ole promo in 6 months! I definitely think this is reasonable and is in line with the promo/bonus schedules i've seen

This sounds reasonable to me. I think the role was given specifically for review purposes. And investment banks follow certain timeline for promotion.

I am a contract employee that was just brought on a month ago. I have done well with onboarding and learning their tech. I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before. I have a feeling they just planning to use my previous experience and then let me go since my pay is high. Is there a way I can safeguard against this?

Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
