Only thing that's helped me was getting a competing offer. Nothing else mattered. Companies don't negotiate internally unless they think they're at risk of losing you. AND if they deem you worthy of paying extra to ensure they don't. Otherwise, you'll just get a "good luck in your next role" before security ushers you out the door.

Thanks for sharing your experience! It’s interesting to hear that a competing offer made such a difference for you. It’s frustrating how negotiations often depend on perceived value rather than merit. I guess it highlights the importance of being proactive in our job searches. Have you found any strategies that work well for leveraging those offers? I’d love to hear more about your approach!

What has worked for me, at least in the past, is being able to show how I've grown in the job. Making the case that I was a more valuable employee than I'd been when I began seemed to bring some logic to the discussion and let me secure a raise. I will say that in recent years the raises have been more difficult to obtain, and have fallen into the routine of being in the low single digits.

Thanks for sharing your insights! Demonstrating growth and showing how you’ve added value is such a powerful approach. It’s unfortunate that raises have become tougher to secure, though. It seems like many of us are facing similar challenges. Have you found any specific ways to effectively showcase your contributions during those discussions? I'd love to hear more about what worked for you!

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Internship Program Help: Hi Everyone! I’ve never worked for a company with any type of internship program at all, let alone a really successful one. My new company thrives off our internship program, with many of our managers/directors having started as one themselves. I’d like to create more of a structure to this program but not even really sure where to begin. Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
