With inflation, cost pressures, and companies talking more about efficiency and AI, I’m trying to get a realistic sense of the market this year so for those of you who’ve had performance reviews or comp conversations in 2026, what are raises actually looking like at your company in terms of percentage increases, bonuses, promotions without meaningful pay bumps, or no changes at all, and do you feel like they’re keeping up with expectations and workload?

I was looking at PM roles only that were around $110k, one company approached me with Sr PM (title bump) at $110k.

I did tell them that I’m at final stage with other companies so they can expect multiple offer situation from me. Advice?

Posting on behalf of my friend :
Counter offer made and manager communicated through email .
How long will it take for the incumbent to receive revised compensation offer ? No grade change was discussed will that be decided by HR or not required

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work . BUT managers are terrible at planning and recently end up putting me in preventable situations where I need to work 55 hrs or have the staff work the 55 hours. I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?

If you’re “Networking” you’re doing it wrong.

Would you walk up to someone you’ve never met at a dinner party and ask for their number?

That’s what a connection request without a note is like.

Not interested.

Start a conversation. Be friendly. Be genuine. Be curious. Be respectful. Learn and exchange ideas.

Don’t only reach out when you need a job.

Get to know childrens’ names and favorite vacations.

Be a friend.

Friends aren’t a “network”.

They’re people we care about.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
