I entered my current company on January 28 and I have made a great effort. I was offered a lead role on may or july but depending on a review period. I know this period came to an end so I ask for a salary raise but they told me the following: "you are closed to the salary band limit so there is no possibility of a salary raise; the only possibility is switching to another role". So I disagreed because I considered I should be rewarded for all the effort I did these months... They came up with the idea of a bonus (they didnt told me the amount) but I still think I should hace set things clear... Like saying: There will be a review or analysis period ? Ok when it will end ?. Whats going to be decided after that ?. If a new role is considered, what will be my responsabilities ?. Because I made a huge effort considering I will be a father... And think this takes me to a place where I must still keep waiting when I know I give proof of my vslue

    This is what happened: If things are not clear, they can changed things on the fly. Although I know I am in an ongoing integration and a new role should be official when there is not so much things movibg under the hood, I think a critical point is accomplishing promises... Because I sincerely left with a feeling of nothing... And, If didnt talked with the CTO from the client, I wouldnt even get a bonus...

    Not advising or suggesting anything specific, but you should always have a plan b. Expect nothing from your current or future employer.

    Sounds like you should get a raise, since you were promoted to lead role?

    @WildOrangutan I mean... Its not official but I have been leading yes... So the thing about not getting a raise because I am closed to the bandlimit sounds like mmm...

    Rough that you didn’t get the lead role. I’d set a time line to be less with a raise and in the mean time start looking. You don’t have to accept any offers, you can just keep that contact you interview with.
