I don't know, I've been very close to the money a couple of times in my albeit short career so far (on the subscription/sign up team/on a team where we know exactly how much money we make to the dollar every month and we've demonstrated growth). Its made very little difference when it comes to promotions/raises. Its always dangled in front of you. The new leveling system which promises clarity for how to move up is always 'on its way' and 'nearly complete'. Your manager will say you're always close to moving up and getting a bump (which usually turns out to be a single digit percent). At the end of the day either your manager is able to get results for you and you're happy or they're not and the only way to get more is to get a better offer somewhere else. It sucks but that's the way it is. I don't believe 'better performance' (TM) will get you a better raise. If you doubled the number of tickets you complete in a sprint consistently you would not get a raise any more than what you'd get if you kept at your current pace. Its not like finance where your compensation is directly tied to your performance when you run a fund.
