I’ll start this off by saying I’ve been very fortunate so this isn’t a complaint(this may not be the right sub reddit either). I’m 26 years old and have been with my company for about 4.5 years since graduating college.
This year I grossed a little over $83K (4.5 years ago I started at $52K), I receive 5 weeks PTO, 8% 401k March, gym on campus, and very flexible work hours. I’m in a position where my superiors all the way up to the president of my department think very highly of me. I get to work on projects with our SVP which is rare for someone in my position.
Here’s my qualm. I think it’s time for a move within the next year (reason being I believe I’ve capped my growth in my current department (all roles above mine are filled by people are in there 40s and who have been in the department for 15+ years. They’re not retiring or leaving anytime soon, and my employer does not promote in place)). I work in a very niche department, where there aren’t a lot of jobs/companies in my area that do what I do. I’m not willing to move (location) at this time. Unfortunately I just don’t think a company is going to give me a 15%ish raise and pay me nearly $100k to:
1) Go to a position I don’t have experience in. 2) Hire me for a managerial position without managerial experience
Anyone ever been in a situation like this? What did you do? Thanks!
