When an internal candidate interviews for a role, as a hiring manager do you see their current salary and take that into account for future salary? (i.e. if future salary range is up to $40k more, would you consider offering the lower end of the range because they are an internal candidate?)

Yes, it happens all the time, unfortunately. And it’s not the hiring manager. It’s HR who doesn’t allow internal employees to be increased more than a certain percentage, even if they’re promoted. But they will pay an external hire a ton more. It’s sad but true. That’s why it’s always better to hop companies all together.

If it's a big org it's not up to the hiring manager, HR handles all that. & they will know you're salary, not sure how they calculate the bump for a new role... might depend on where you land within range of your current market salary range.
Or as Chief said... maybe won't offer more than a certain percentage increase... if that's the case take the role, get the exp and then hop companies as soon as possible for that higher pay. On resume don't put length of time in role put length of total time at that company and most recent role.

I can tell you from personal experience that my company did not limit my raise even when promoting more than one tier higher within the company. They put me right at the target salary for the role, which I could see. They also hired in 2 external candidates for the same role at the same time at about 3% less than me. In my experience, if you have highly skilled internal talent, you pay to keep them. If you don’t, then they will leave.

Unfortunately our hands are tied by HR more than we would like them to be.

unfortunately you're always tied to your previous salary as a benchmark for internal movement. One of the big reasons why most people have to jump companies for a significant pay increase

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.
