I recently accepted an offer to move to a different team internally and realized that my comp is roughly ~15-18k below the range of an equivalent. This information was confirmed through a friend of mine who is in the same role but just on a different team. I actually knew about this prior to accepting the offer and even tried negotiating with the recruiter but was reluctantly told that I was “already in range” and this would be considered a lateral move. I took the offer because of the opportunity presented long term.
- Could I ask for a salary adjustment to my manager 6 months into the role?
- Would that be frowned upon this early in the role?
- Is this the nature of how internal moves operate and I’m just forced to leverage external options?
Those are just a few questions I had on this but if anyone can chime in on a similar experience that would be great.
Thanks a lot in advance.
There is nothing wrong with asking for a boost at 6 months, but I would not expect any results. Being there a year of solid performance should help. I moved internally and was able to negotiate a higher salary, however, I was able to justify based off of current pay/bonus structure.
Thanks for the feedback!
Unfortunately, #3 is all too common from what I've seen. Also common for companies to cap raises in the realm of 10%. Salary bands tend to be really wide, so it's unsurprising HR said you're already in range.
I'd recommend waiting til review time to bring it up. Selfishly, you might hope for turnover in your team as that can create opportunity for a bigger raise.
