If you report to the CEO I’m not sure there is a lot of room for upward mobility. I would focus more on the leader’s strategic goals for the role and team and how they see the successful candidate navigating it. Also ask what support you will have in the role (budgetary, vendors, staff, etc). What qualities are they looking for in the perfect candidate? And relate those to yourself.

What should be the YOE for senior associate?

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
