They ended up offering me a position that was 40% higher than my low salary requirement regardless of my original lowball salary requirement. It must be a 1 in a million circumstance but I'll have to keep this in mind when i'm on the hunt next time!

You should do a video on how employers determine annual compensation increases. I am awaiting my performance review, but got my documents today. I suspect it's average based on the increase. That said it could be below average as I received a 3.5% increase while inflation is up 7.5% according to the department of labor. That feels like a 4% decrease in pay disguised as a pay raise

If raising everyone's wages means they can't afford as many employees, that can be a hard decision to make and also means the job becomes harder for those they keep. Money isn't unlimited. Open communication from higher level helps with determining their reasons. Good companies that care about their people, also want to not lay people off if they can avoid it.

In average years, I would get 1-2% raises every year with "good" or "average" performance review - basically I'm doing the job they hired me for. About 60% of people got that rating and I assume the same type of raise. Those with a lower rating probably didn't get a raise at all and those with the lowest rating were often put on a PIP or terminated. At one company (a bank), I asked what the difference in comp was between my "average" and the highest rating - my manager told me perhaps 0.25 to 0.5% increase. The problem is they wanted me to work more than 45 to 50 hours a week to hit that rating. So, yeah, I told my manager that I was very happy with my review. The past two years, I have been working for a boutique IT consulting shop based out of NYC (I'm fully remote from Orlando). They have no formal "review" process per se - basically you give yourself a set of reasonable goals and you see if you hit them. I got a 5% raise each year - of course, I appreciated it since my previous company probably would have given me the same old 1.5% raise. But inflation being super high eroded much of that benefit.

This is normal, this channel explained it in his video "why a steady job is bad for your career". Basically, people who quit jobs every 3-5 years have a 50% higher salary (even more if you take out CEOs) than those with the same job all their life. This is employers HATE putting the salary range in their job applications, because their current employees would know they are been low balled.

I don't understand this. If i were the employer, I would never fire the more valuable and loyal employee and pay More for a less experienced and knowledgeable one. so stupid. A healthy company hires competent people, values them, has a plan for continual turnover due to promotions, retirements, new hires, and values the customer, while seeking to deliver a quality service and product. But people expect companies to seek short term gains at the expense of longevity.

When I received my offer letter it was for 32 hours at the middle of their respectable salary range. I asked if they were open to negotiate and they said that they were. So I asked for 50¢ less than the top of the range (because of 12+ years of experience in the field) and 40 hours. I got it! When they sent the schedule, they had me working every Saturday. I asked to alternate everything other Saturday with every other Monday, and they agreed. I only had to do one interview with the hiring manager. They are a small private practice mental health agency and they do not offer medical benefits, but I have medicare, so that's not a problem. The agency owner sent me a LinkedIn message welcoming me aboard. I can't wait to start tomorrow.

In 2019 i interviewed for a local grocery chain that i had previously worked for and the recruiter told me that I would be paid a particular hourly rate if hired before passing me along to the hiring manager. After interviewing with the hiring manager, he offered me the job but add an hourly rate that was 50% less than what the recruiter had told me. The recruiter reached out to me that same day and asked how the interview went. I told her that it went well but that i had been offered a lower pay rate than expected. She apologized and the next day she let me know my start date and that I would be at the higher hourly rate she had originally told me. I left the company a few months later out of principle when i discovered that hiring manager gave special treatment to employees who commited what would normaly be fireable offenses.

You listen to all the jabbering here and it's just HR blather about how you're getting paid a fair salary for the market. So they're going to say "we can't pay you more because that's what other people doing the job get paid". But if you are underpaid and ask for an increase because you see that other people doing the same job get paid more, well, all of a sudden it becomes how you have to justify why you're worth that much. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just move to another company. Most crap jobs I was at, you'd be lucky to get a 2% "merit" increase in the annual review. They'd give 3% if you were a "star performer". Move to another company and you can jump 20%, as has been said elsewhere.

Absolutely agree 1000%. In my career so far it has been similar, around 2 to 3% annual increase (and that sometimes barely covers inflation so there you go). Changing jobs I've been able to achieve medium to high increases depending on the previous job employer. Even if you are promoted in your current employer the salary increase won't be anything crazy, it's a bit like the ISPs, you only get the better deal when switching

This is great advice. Another video I also heard of asking for a "salary adjustment." Thoughts? Salary Adjustment is where you periodically look at the market and ask for your salary at your current job to be adjusted to meet market (not including *usual* incremental increases).

I’m no HR expert and it obviously varies on a case by case basis but in my experience a market adjustment for a salaried job isn’t the best idea for a pay raise, especially after 1.5 years (which is really young in your career!). You should start compiling examples of positive feedback you’ve gotten from other staff, especially management, and talk to your bosses about additional responsibilities you’ve taken on and executed well.

Question: When invited for a first interview with HR the email invitation said the position had a salary range of $105,000 to $115,000. At the first interview with HR I was asked what I felt a fair salary was, and I said $112,000. The interviewer said that sounded fair and that the range for this position is $110,000 to $130,000. So either the email or the HR rep was wrong. I have now been invited to a second interview. If they ask the salary question again, should I stick with $112,000? I think $112,000 is a fair salary for this position, but I don’t want to come across as not confident in my skills or earning potential.

While the cost of living is lower, there are a lot of things that we won't have access to that people who are doing the same job and living in developed countries have access to. For instance, there are professional training that cost over 2000 USD and if we are paid something like 900-1200 USD we would never be able to afford those. Also we might be more qualified than the people who are paid more than us and yet we are getting a lot less than them. Is it our fault that we were born in a developing country?

The company should pay for the professional training costs as they are not paying you enough to cover the costs for professionalization. Often companies have contracts for having to work there a year or 2 after completing a degree they pay for.

I'm surprised at the suggestion that asking for a pay rise could result in having to look for a new job. Here in Australia that's illegal. The worse that would happen is that the pay rise is rejected. In that case I imagine that someone who values themselves would seek another job. So yes, have the resume ready...... ready to take advantage of opportunities outside of the current employer.

This is a North American type of situation.

I specifically know a few professionals who steer clear of this industry because of a systemic regression and poor treatment of talent in the industry.

Not sure if you already mentioned this. Thanks for the clarification.

BRYAN!! Thanks for creating this video; as a hiring manager for around 10 years I can confirm this is very accurate info. Question: As you mentioned in this video, the cost of living around the work site is a factor in the salary range made available for a given position, but how does this affect positions that are 100% remote? Is the range determined by the physical site designated to the hiring manager/team, is a national average used, or is it based on the address of the candidate? If the third, does that mean, all other things being relatively equal, the recruiting team will prefer someone residing in an area with a lower cost of living? Thanks in advance!

I am in conflict with another aspect of the compensation topic. My company hires very commonly freelancers as support for our projects. In these projects I am having the management role, also carry the technical know how and carry the responsibility for the execution of the project. The freelancers usually work below me. Therefore I give them the tasks and they execute them. They don't carry any direct responsibility. What is the problem? These freelancers cost the company 2x or 2.5x more than me. The price which my company pays for these freelancers is industry standard. Furthermore I am most of the time much more productive and knowledgeable than these freelancer. Therefore I feel conflicted with this situation. This makes me feel massively underpaid. My salary is determined by a union contract for this industry. Since this union contract is public, I know I can negotiate another 20% salary raise but even with this, I am still around 50% cheaper in comparison to the freelancers my company hires for every project.

Why would a company have a plan to be a 'pay lagger'? And if it is set by the executives, then surely the executives themselves are paid fairly poorly. I work for a large bank. We have significant market share and are a top listed company. I have read that the company philosophy on remuneration is that base pay is set at market median, and then the addition of variable remuneration to allow the possibility of top performers to be paid at 75th percentile. However, a few things to note. Just because it is 'possible', does not mean it will necessarily happen (it is subject to budget constraints and internal politics). Also, variable remuneration is only paid once per year, around October, for the previous financial years performance. So you can work up to September, be the best employee ever, but still only get paid the median pay. Also the fact that it only allows for people to be paid up to the 75th percentile. That, by definition, means 'we don't want the top 25% of people here'. I have advanced skills in STEM and Financial Maths. I was always at the top of my classes at university. Yes, university does not equal corporate, but in areas that require strong reasoning and ability to communicate with others, it does mean something. I feel I am 'underutilized' where I am. There are many people I went to university with that are doing far better than me. Not that I am doing particularly bad. But I could be doing so much better. Some companies are also 'penny wise and pound foolish'. Like my company does not want to give everyone a raise to match inflation (they only gave 2.8% increase) but then they bring in tons of people on day rate contracts (at huge rates) that have similiar skills to existing full time employees to run projects.
