Never assume a jump in salary, but don’t discount the power of a higher title either. The new level may come with little or no raise now, but it could lead to a higher bonus or raise later, in addition to even higher promotions that you wouldn’t get to without this promotion first. If they say that a raise won’t necessarily come with the better title, I’d do two things. First, I’d look at what the career path looks like within the company and how this promotion fits into the overall puzzle. Does it lead to you becoming a manager or a director in a few years? Those salaries will more than make up for a bit of extra grunt work now. Second, if a promotional raise is not in the plans, could they at least think of giving you a bit of a higher raise than usual following the end year performance review? That may at least make the extra work worth it in the meantime. One thing that I wouldn’t do though is rejecting the promotion outright or looking for another job without fully understanding the nature of the promotion, its future potential, as well as how much money they’re willing to give you even if they can’t give you a huge bump in salary. Companies are being very conservative with their budgets right now due to the economy, so they can’t be pushed too far right now either.
That's the assumption, but you should always clarify. You lose all negotiating power the second you accept. You've got to figure out what the salary for the new position looks like before deciding whether it's something you want to pursue.
You need to negotiate that
I would definitely take it with the condition that you negotiate the raise. I find that I tend to get a pretty crappy raise if I just accept the promotion and don't talk about the money. Often if you don't have a frank conversation about the finances, you'll end up with a bunch more work for very little benefit.
When the offer is presented to you I would ask then about compensation. Usually there should be a bump otherwise why bother getting promoted lol

That’s a fair assumption but always worth double checking. It isn’t always guarenteee
