| Mar 2, 2019 at 12:29 | comment | added | P. Hopkinson | Also... when do the 5% increases stop? If you received six 5% compounded pay increases that would give you an overall 61% pay increase on your current rate. You'd lose a fair chunk of cash in the short term. | |
| Mar 2, 2019 at 12:23 | comment | added | P. Hopkinson | Are the proposed 5% raises based on your current salary or are they compounded? Would you also receive a cost of living increase if you took this deal? | |

I decided to offer coming on with a lower title and salary than my experience level to land the job - That seems shortsighted, and if I may be so bold, a bit foolish. A company will pay you what you're willing to accept. You've done yourself a huge disservice in this situation. My guess is that you'll likely not ever get what you're hoping to get or what you think you're worth at this company. Your best long term goal might be to look for employment elsewhere where they'll pay you at or close to what the market rate is for your industry and experience.

" Don't confuse "proving your worth" with "take what they give me". In the immortal words of Deion Sanders, "there's what you are worth, what you negotiate for, and what you get." | |
| Mar 2, 2019 at 3:22 | comment | added | selbie | Unfortunately, you may have to go get a competing offer from another company and ask to have your salary matched. But if you gone through the emotional swing of deciding to look for another job, you might just decide to take it. Either way, you come out ahead. | |
