Work for a large global tech co., started as a contractor and took a big wage hit for the "promise" of FT. Agency assured me org would never know what I made if time came. When the time came to offer a role, I came in under a Euro job req, Euro has much lower salaries than US. The offer was identical to what the contract gig paid. After 2 weeks of negotiating, I took the role, needed the job. Now I feel duped, resentful and strung along. 20 yrs+ experience, ouch, thoughts?

Yeah, the problem here is your expectations not matching reality.

Your choice.

Who are you mad at??
But you call yourself a Sr. Partner Marketing Manager with 20+ yrs experience?
And you come here to whine.
I question your title, your experience, & your maturity.
You come across as young & dumb, but mostly privileged.
My suggestion would be that you resign so the position would actually go to someone who has the business acumen to do its duties, and tell this story over over-priced bourbons to your pals that are still searching for masculinity on their social media feeds.

Too much?
Then an alternative would be to STFU do the job that you chose and don’t whine about it.

Kroll's response was harsh and uncalled for, but don't let that distract from the genuine opinion of someone who has had a lucrative 30-year career, with plenty of ups and downs along the way.

I get why you are disappointed, but from what you are describing, you aren't justified in feeling that way. It sounds to me as though you have landed a secure role with a salary that represents where the market is at currently. Any single one of us can choose to overvalue ourselves and be salty about it, but our employer has shown us exactly what we are worth to them.

If you truly think you are justified, update your resume and go get what you are worth elsewhere.

But again, I’m sure he’s happy that you have his back.
And with that, good day. Best of luck to you, and your future endeavors.

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
