Need advice. I work in-house for an insurance company. I service the claims department. I report to the head of global claims. There are 2 other lawyers that service the underwriters for the same line, but they report to the head of legal. Yesterday, a new role with my title was posted. There is meaningful overlap of the duties, experience level, and knowledge required. The new role would report to the head of legal. The salary range posted is higher than my base salary.
How would you handle?

I couldn't finish writing this because of space limitations, but my goal is to get a salary increase given the circumstances and overlap.

Interesting. Why are you the only one reporting to someone else? Is it for your team? Are they restructuring in any way? Do you feel your job is threatened?

I don’t know much about insurance in house set ups but it’s weird to me that other lawyers in your team report to head of legal but you’re reporting to claims, who I’m assuming is on the business side?

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go?

It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
