Raise was rejected after a 6mth delayed review, manager says I didn't hit 1 of 10 KPIs despite me having measurable proof that I did. Says I'm above + beyond in others. Is it time for an exit plan?

Yep. Leave. They’re finding reasons not to compensate you properly.

Don’t assume you’re in trouble. Not getting a raise is a good reason to leave and worth kicking off an aggressive job hunt. Don’t let your worries affect your job performance though, they have a way of doing that. Put all your energy into looking for a job. No point in guesswork.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
