Hey Shannon,
Thanks for the great tips regarding promotions and salary negotiations. I am in the middle of a pretty difficult negotiation. I have been pursued by the executive leadership to take a promotion to Director level from Manager level in a new area. This area has met with multiple failures and needs a strong leader who can problem solve. They believe I can do this job, and I agree. Problem is that they are telling me I am ‘maxed out’ at my pay level compared to others at the next level. I have been here for 10 years and have done well. Question is: Take the promotion as an upward career move with little or no pay raise (I am due this month for an annual increase) or walk away from it and stay where I am? I also do not want the leadership to think I don’t want to advance in the future. Keep in mind I am also in the middle of working on my MBA and this new job willl add much stress and workload.
I feel like a victim of my own success!
Not feeling too balanced right now!
Thanks again for such a great site!
Roberta

Unfortunately, work keeps giving me raises. Ok, I know, poor me and that’s not something to complain about but I hate my job and that’s pretty much what’s keeping me there (seeing no other jobs are paying that much), it just sucks but those are great tips–especially the research and keep it classy parts.
