Most jobs, at least at big employers, are split up into 4 quartile ranges. So bottom 25, lower middle 25, upper middle 25, and upper 25. Obviously super simple,

Most jobs, at least at big employers, are split up into 4 quartile ranges. So bottom 25, lower middle 25, upper middle 25, and upper 25. Obviously super simple, but it helps to realize this framework going in.
You can actually buy textbooks on how to construct payroll guidelines...do this and you can backwards engineer what you should be getting.
- sasaf5 9y agoInteresting answer. Can you recommend one of those textbooks?

- matt_s 9y agoAt larger companies its pretty easy to see where the delineation is in major pay groupings. It is a pyramid and the top two layers are often paid a lot more (per person) than the rest. Working at a smaller company (~100-200) it is really hard to know where you stand and what opportunities there are for a promotion/major pay increase. You may often read on here and elsewhere that you should job change every 2 years and you will see significant pay increases. Major pay bumps in my mind are 10-20% more. This only works to a point and will plateau. Once you are a senior enough you are in the "top" tier for that role and other paths are actually different skills. Management is not engineering and consulting isn't all engineering either.
