Returned from maternity leave, I was offered a Revenue Operations Project Manager. I was given a 4% raise (next to nothing), I was asked to sign the paperwork upon my return which was strange. On day 1, got to know almost 4% raise was given to the entire company as compensation adjustment due to inflammation. The manager left the company within 4 days of my joining and now I’m stuck with the sad pay and a hefty job. Not sure what I should be doing?

Was this (or new) position discussed before your maternity leave? Did it exist before? By signing the paperwork, did you get a job description or only a title/salary change? Not sure if your new function is an issue (hefty job) or no salary increase.
If you wanted this position and knew what it entails - you should have assess what you will need to do, where you skillset is and negotiate the salary accordingly. If it was a complete surprise, still you should have align on expectations on new role. However, I can understand that just returning from maternity leave was overwhelming and the rush from the management got in your way. Go back to whom you are reporting now/a higher up and reopen the conversation. New function even in junior level should still come with an increase and considering everyone got it a salary adjustment - that is not fair.

There have been a lot of posts in the law and big law blog about legal recruiter comp. It seems to range a lot (saw second-hand info from $60k to over a million).

Considering eventually moving to recruiting, but couldn’t leave to do it for $60k.
