My wife has worked for a travel company for almost 4 years. She was employee 17. Her role was to handle all things tech related. In those 4 years the company has grown from around 7mil per year to 70mil. The staff has increase to well over 120 and based all over the world. She is now responsible for a team of 5 in her tech department which is implementing a large range of new systems to allow better efficiencies from front to back. Her role has increase hugely. However her salary £50k is low

She should definitely have a convo with her manager and outline all that she’s done to contribute to this. Also bring some examples of industry benchmarks

smart

50k is criminal she should look elsewhere, with that type of experience she could go to a much larger firm with better benefits, more balance, and higher paying. or at least use an offer to get her current company to boost her pay

She needs to be an advocate for herself, look at the market, determine what’s fair and present it people that matter. Show how you meet or exceed the pay qualifications for that position by stating the work you do. You must know when to speak up, and based on their response when to walk away

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
