Two Qs: 1.) How does your agency go about promotions? 2.) What’s your promotion cycle flow...2x a year or 1x a year? Seeing less and less transparency under WPP...

I recently asked my boss for a raise after discussing a yearly review with them. I was told because there was a company wide raise back in December, that would technically be my raise, which was $0.45/hr. I’ve stepped in to a number of roles here and feel I am not being paid adequately after taking on the extra work. I’m wondering how to go about asking for a raise of $2/hr after all this.

2.5 YOE, 6.2 LPA Mainframe, recently got an offer from TCS for Mainframe Developer position with 7.5Lpa. My project Director called me and willing to match the salary here in Cognizant. He said i will be eligible for yearly hike as well.

Please suggest if truly I will be eligible for yearly hike after being retained and is it good to stay overall.

P.S - TCS gave 7.5 on top of 5.1 LPA, 6.2 is what i got recently in April promotion for Associate.

Hello fishes. I'm a MBA graduate currently working as a digital marketing professional in a mid size consulting firm with 3 years of experience.
I am terribly underpaid in my current org at 5.5 LPA after a recent promotion and annual appraisal. Another mid size consulting firm offered me 7.5 LPA but I am asking them around 9 LPA.
Am I asking too much or shall I take the offer of 7.5 LPA

When I spoke with HR she said that their was some confusion and with name and they have send wrong offer letter but except my CTC and joining date everything was same my email id, my home address everything. And now I have been asked to wait, HR says they will raise again. And its been 3 days now I can not accept the previous offer also and I cant even resign from my current company. What should I do?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

Hello fishes
I'm currently working with Capgemini at C1 level. I have an offer from TCS of 20L(with variable) and I have asked for permanent onshore to CG for retention. CG is trying to get me in the onsite project and now they have offered me 18.5L(with variable) and 1.5L retention bonus with C2 promotion.
Can you please tell your thoughts on this?

Note: I have 1 month NP left so still looking for other opportunities with more package but have TCS only in hand right now.
Thank u

just sounds like it will give the AE a raise. And easier all around to be transparent. Much worse things could happen. AE could have been let go and unemployed.

I'm a new adjuster but have great metrics and feel I'm doing fairly well. My family is struggling living paycheck to paycheck. I've been with my company about 7 months but I feel other companies pay more. I don't want to leave though. Any tips for asking for a salary increase? I was promoted a few months in to a tier 2 but no pay raise goes with that.

Thanks for any advice.. I'm at 47k a year. I wanted to go SIU but obviously there is no immediate significant pay bump. Ultimately aiming for 60k

I need advice on how to approach a raise request.

I am a software sales representative in the manufacturing space. My starting salary was $85,000 in 2015 I did not receive a raise until I asked for one three years later in 2018. The raise was 5%. I have not received a raise since the 5% raise I received in 2018. They granted me a $2000 one time bonus in 2021 when I asked for a raise. How do I request a raise and get one?

I have brought up the cost of living expense and they do not acknowledg

My biggest mistake was accepting a promotion to manager, it made me realize that I'm not very good at managing people. Should I ask if I can go back to my old role?

How long does the typical career path after a PhD or MD take to reach a $500k+ total comp if we’re counting years at an MBB firm with an exit to pharma/biotech and promotion time thereafter? I get this there’s TONS of variation in this, but want to get a general sense. And what portion of these folks realistically reach this level?

I'm an Advisory Newly promoted senior. My new compensation is as follows: Merit 3.8% and Promotion increase 5.0%. I assume the 5.00 is standard. But the 3.8% merit promotion? Isn't that quite low? My total pay bump is 6000, making my new comp 74,100 as NYC Advisory Senior Consultant (Assurance)

I joined EY GDS on august 2nd 2021 as advanced analyst for US taxation. I don’t have enough hours but I have over all 3 years of experience (2.7 Deloitte and Ey - August 2021 till now) in US tax and very good feedback untill now. Is there a possibility to get senior promotion this year?
If over all hours is the only main criteria then I would not get this year?

Have an industry offer that's 50-60% more pay, a promotion, & doesn't require travel. The culture can be intense/political but all the higher ups like me. Worth taking for 2-3yrs then see what's next?

If your workplace does not formally set guidelines or expectation for conversations about wages, then what is an appropriate time to present a case for a raise?

All fellow folks who have been waiting for GC for years and hence can’t change job. How do you motivate yourself or what keep you motivated when you see you are constantly being overlooked for promotion or better career opportunities or someone getting a lot of credit for your work etc. while folks around you are able to earn more, jump ships and get more out their career. I understand this job is better than job in another country pay wise but what keeps you going ?

Back in 2017 I quit an absolutely awful company that treated me (and all other lower level employees) like trash. We were constantly being reprimanded about not doing our job well enough, but then would also get yelled at for overtime when we tried to do our job well.
Every year since, I’ve written a 1 star review on Glassdoor. Currently their overall score is a 2.3 with a 0% approval of CEO. 15% recommend to a friend. (((Continued in comments)))

For folks exiting to FAANG / Product at start ups or really any hot company. How do you go about networking to get the interview? Do you apply then cold email someone you may have an “in”with, or are you picking say 10 companies and then having warm contacts there that you’ll ping when you see a job. I’ve been passively looking for jobs but zero luck, I only want to leave for the right fit. Big 4 here so feel my brand won’t auto get me an interview like mbb/t2

Still, not a good news to receive. Get tested y’all

Started in a scale-up company about 2 months ago. Took over three teams where the tech leads were filling in as POs. I was expecting the product department to be more structured in order for me to grow and learn, but so far it feels like every other week I am asked to implement a new process change. Between that, trying to learn about the product as it's very complex and deliver sprints to tight legacy timelines I feel overwhelmed and thinking of quitting for my sanity. Suggestions?

Brand Strategy/Planning roles aren't typical in PR. So every new Account hire arrives with no experience working with a Strategist. I'm tired of explaining/showing my role adds necessary value. I love strategy, but I have an offer at another agency to move into Account as Group SVP. They want to "customize" the role for my experience, but I'm afraid it will just be on paper and people will expect me to know things I just won't. I can't afford to be fired. Thoughts? Considerations? Watch-outs?
