What do I need to do to warrant a 20% raise? Just want to break 6 figures as I hit 5 yoe, I know this is ludicrous considering the time we’re in, but I’m trying to figure out what’s gobs be valued in this AI era we’re entering

Title change at minimum, but more likely need to hop to a new shop entirely. Making money in our industry is a balancing act between hopping enough to get paid what you’re worth and sticking it out long enough to avoid flakey perception. Stay anywhere 3-5 years and you will definitively be underpaid.

This. If you stay at the same place you'll get maybe 3% COL increase a year. And if you get a promotion, maybe a 10% raise.

Jumping gets you the bigger pay jumps. I went from $75K to $130k in one jump (agency to tech).

Leave.

20% is a MASSIVE raise without going anywhere else. That’s jumping from 100 to 120. Without a title bump that’s largely impossible. Even with one it’s a tough one. Unless you find and sign a client and get a percentage of billings, you’ll need to find a new shop.

You need a new job

New job. Max you get w/o title bump is 8-10%

With title bump it is more attainable, but probably not likely

New job and leave, or take the new job offer for a match. Did it once and it worked but I ended up leaving anyways for a better offer later so I did +45% in 3 years. Play your cards if you are dealt a a new job offer, thats the only one you have at the moment. Internally 20% aint gonna happen more like 10% for a full promo.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I work in higher education, for a private university in the Midwest, and will be asking for a promotion to Director of Social Media. I would like to gauge what salary or % increase I should be asking for.

I'm coming up on 1 year since I was promoted to Assistant Director. (I was promoted bc the previous director left, but the truth is I'm not assisting anyone, and I've been running our university's social media for the last 3 years, with stellar analytics EVERY year since taking over.) TIA!

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

smarthelpful

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
