SC @ D and need to make moves, I am ~40% below the salary band (long story). I’ve been applying but keep getting shot down. Ego is a little bruised, don’t feel entitled to positions, but (continued)

I’m right there with you OP. GPS SC making 83k. 5 years in. Always have strong year end stories, but never play the game. At the end of the day, popularity is 100% the deciding factor between mediocre compensation and strong raises. If your year end panel members don’t know who you are, they couldn’t care less.

How is this possible. Are you in advisory?

Can’t figure out why I’m not getting opportunities to progress. Pseudo-venting post, been frustrated for a few weeks and this one has been especially discouraging.

What’s your skill set and region muchacho?

Tech implementation is where most of my experience is, helping with change management initiatives, operational analysis, and business process optimization. Basically getting clients to identify and understand that they can’t just pay for tech, they have organizational and operational changes that may need to occur to fully optimize the tech they’re paying for.

You GPS?

Used GSAP as a salary ‘reset’ button with the added benefit of getting out of federal

How much do you make? Let’s see if it’s really 40% less

SA1, I didn’t give advice. I told OP the reality of how long it would take. I think OP should leave.

Is this advisory or consulting?

Something is definitely missing. I don’t think we are getting the full story here.
