- ethbr0 4y agoAs a hack on this, when negotiating to join a company, you generally want to be at {highest title} + {lowest on pay band for that title}. Sometimes specific title requirements preclude this (e.g. "We don't give new people X title immediately"), but it's a good rule of thumb. It makes yearly pay bumps much easier for your manager to justify ("So-and-so is well within salary ranges for their title"), versus them having to fight for an exception to policy.
- boruto 4y ago> {highest title} + {lowest on pay band for that title}. People would find out about this and would leave resenting that they are underpaid.
- ethbr0 4y agoNot sure you're understanding the point: it's something you, as the employee, request when you're negotiating being hired. Your hiring manager usually doesn't care, as long as there aren't any req:title limitation issues, because it attracts you and generates less paperwork on their side.
- elwell 4y agoWhy not {highest title} + {highest on pay band for that title}? Why not make more money earlier?
- tiimbz 4y agoThe suggestion would be something to do after the pay is already negotiated. You’d want to leave as much room to grow as possible - both money wise as well as your title.
- therealdrag0 4y agoThat might be less than I’ve ever (~10yoe) gotten without a title bump… ouch.
