What’s the biggest raise you’ve ever received, percentage-wise? Was it at your current place of employment and/or in the retail/hospitality industry?

Would you say this raise was on par, lower, or above and beyond what’s typical for the retail/hospitality industry? What about other industries you’ve worked in?

I got about 20% as a retention raise and that’s how I found out I was severely underpaid. I definitely needed the raise though.

Wow! I’m sorry you were underpaid but glad to hear they at least made an attempt to rectify it.

$7/hr increase by getting a unionized job, and yearly pay increases are better than anywhere else I've worked as well.

I meant in the same job - an annual raise related to an annual review. So same company, same exact role, increased pay.

35% was the biggest I’ve ever received in retail

Wow! What spurred on such a high percentage increase? That’s really amazing!

Hey Fishes I have completed close to 4.5 years in EY under the Tax Operation team specialized in resource management. I am getting only 7.5lpa inspite of getting "Strategic Impact" which is the highest reward category. I was supposed to get a skip level promotion which the HR had rejected for some reason. I feel I am really underpaid and EY is not valuing me as an employee. Based on ur experience can you let me know the actual market rate for my profile?

I do like the work..but I know I’ll be paid atleast 35K more if I leave..and not sure if the next promotion will happen sooner than 3 years..leave or stay? Don’t have much partner or leadership support but not in a bad book as well

I have my annual review coming up and want to hear thoughts on what a reasonable raise expectation is. I report to the COO and currently make $94k + up to 10% annual bonus based on company hitting their revenue goal + I have 3000 stock options. I have 3 YOE in customer success but pivoted to a non technical program manager role at a series c tech startup last September. I have been getting consistently positive feedback at quarterly reviews. What raise should I aim for?

Does anyone think it’s out of the question to ask for a 20% pay increase without a promotion? My duties on our team are closer to Director-level and no other Senior PM is managing half of what I am, so I feel like I should be compensated fairly.

Someone bring me back down to earth if I’m asking too much
