Should I leverage an external offer to have my current organization match? Currently, I am getting paid approx. 15% below the average salary of my band. External offer is approx. 30% more than what I make currently, but is less attractive due to its benefits. Manager is supportive but not too sure what string can be pulled. I love working at my company, but it sucks knowing how severely underpaid I am.

What are you gonna do if your current employer says no? Be willing to take the external offer or you’d lose credibility if you stay.

Im still active applying and have other potential offers coming down the pipeline. But agreed, def willing to walk away.

Just want to add:
I am willing to share the offer letter. Also, in no means am I putting them in an ultimatum saying pay me or I’m leaving.

Can certainly relate. I'm struggling with the same thing myself right now.

Thank you! Would really appreciate that.
Knowledge is power 😉

If you have the pay gap facts, put them openly on the table and ask to match it or explain why there is a gap in the first place. It can only raise your credibility honeslty as you know how to do business.

Following this for sure.

What are your priorities here? While it is great to earn extra money it is not the only aspect of your job. I've had plenty of clients who ran after the money only to find out that they ended up in a terrible culture. Be sure to do your due diligence about the other company. A 30% increase is substantial. What are the benefits and unspoken benefits that you have with your present company and what will the benefits and unspoken benefits be with a new company? Make a decision that works for your whole life not just your bank account.
Good Luck

To TRC1 - Of course and totally agree with you salary isn’t the end all be all. Benefits at the current org are slightly better with PTO and 401k but the big difference is obviously salary and going into the office. Office at current is 1-2 times per month vs 2 times per week at the new.

I think it’s important to recognize when you’re employee doesn’t value your worth until it’s too late and is a massive red flag for me. Thoughts?
