When I was promoted internally, I assumed the raise would automatically reflect the new responsibilities — but it didn’t. I had to initiate the conversation myself. Have you ever had to negotiate after a promotion, and how did you frame that discussion?

What is the reason for not confirming that before hand?

It helps when you are negotiating prior to accepting a promotion; however, you are where you are in the process- so keep moving forward with a bit of wisdom!

Yes, some of us have encountered this. Someone recognizes you as someone who excels and would be perfect for "the next step" (aka "promotion"). You are excited and say you would love that opportunity because it is flattering and exciting- they noticed your work!

Congrats!!! But now the real work starts...
Time to do your homework. Check out salaries in your region for the same/similar positions. Look at your experience level and familiarity with the organization. What additional factors are working for you? Consider that you are already familiar with the organization, which already makes you more productive than an external candidate! Some organizations try to place you on the low side of the pay range because they use an internal formula for pay based on your current pay/position as an internal candidate. (Yes- I have heard HR say "as a policy, we never do more than a $20K increase for an internal candidate who accepts promotion". This can be damaging for someone who takes a big step promotion- such as a manager to director or director to C-suite promotion.) Do your homework about salaries in the region AND why you are actually saving the organization money by being paid as they would any external candidate. They already know your work ethic- you are tried and true. An external candidate is always riskier. Why? They may/may not be a fit with the culture, and although stellar on paper and in the interview, no one knows how they will actually perform and fit until they are in the position. This is in addition to the time it takes to learn the organization and the role. While there are people who truly hit the ground running and are super stars, most still need time to learn the nuances of the organization. Best wishes for much success in your negotiations!

I hope you dont think you are the only one that your company does this to. Management gets rewarded generously for theses sort of stunts against the working majority. I'm pretty sure somebody got a bonus.

Supposedly, I’m up for a promotion. I really hope I don’t have to deal with no higher pay too!! Oh man. Hope it works out for you!!

Always negotiate prior to accepting thr promotion offer. Don’t jump into remuneration discussions straight away. It’s should be about sharing excitement for the promotion, appreciation for the offer and then lastly given the increased scope, a negotiation on pay rise.

1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
