That feeling when you get a promotion, but others in your cohort get a double promotion. Relatively, you have been demoted. #happybutnothappy

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?

Hi All, I’m a recruiter for a $4B 2,000+ employee construction commercial real estate company. I have 8 total years of construction recruiting experience and have been with my company for 5 years. In March of 23’, I’m due for a promotion to Sr. Recruiter/Talent Acquisition lead.I will have 3 recruiters reporting to me. Im currently at $80k base salary and am wondering what I should be looking for in my raise? Im based in Chicago and work fully remote. I am thinking I want $100k. Is that too low?

I took the role I am in about a year ago and it just has not been what was promised and a huge step back. I have found a good place and am content but not overly happy with my place in the company. A smaller competitor reached out for a vp position that is a huge step up responsibility wise. There would be a pay raise but not huge so money is not the motivator here. Is this crazy to seriously consider? I hate to burn bridges. I have been told I am on the partner fast track. Thoughts? Advice?

I’m starting to realize that your performance depends a lot more on leadership’s perception of what you’re doing than what you’re actually doing.

Working at small firm for 7 years. They created a new Staff Manager position to supervise and train the support staff in 1 office and other internal operation tasks. They promoted a paralegal into the position. They just asked me to take on the training across all offices because the Staff Manager is doing 50% paralegal work due to turnover. I told them if I were to take on a task of a manager, I should get a promotion and raise to do the task. They did not agree. What do you think?
