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.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help!

I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?
