What's the biggest percentage increase you've gotten at EJ? Mine was 6 percent, and that was the high point.

I received a 10% increase with a 2 pay grade jump last year, otherwise usually see 3-5% annual increases. I did receive an 8% position-in-range increase once, but we don't do those anymore, which su-ks.
Raises are pretty bad around here unless you move up in grade. Once you if the midpoint you are toast. Definitely did not keep up with inflation of the 2020s.
@f6 source??
@hd+1m2q8zpgd I once got a thank you note on construction paper with a gold star on it. My bank said there was no way to deposit it in my checking account to pay bills with but I showed it to my mom and dad and they proudly hung it on the refrigerator.
I got to have extra pizza one time and an Amazon gift card for 10 bucks. Best place ever!
While we’re at it, just a reminder that EJ’s home office compensation is generally about 20% below industry average.
My largest ever was when I promoted to TL and got a 22.8% raise because it was a new salary grade and I was way below midpoint in the old grade... took a lot just to get me past the minimum for the TL grade. Second to that was 19.8% when I was promoted to a Sr associate role (left the TL role and made a lateral move to another division as an individual contributor).
Excluding promotions, my average pay raise since I was hired is just a little over 4% over 15+ years. (including 2009 when pay was frozen and there were no bonuses).
4.5%
Biggest for me:
Annuals: 2.5%
Paygrade increases: 8%
Bump to minimums: 4%
with the change to how annuals are done this year this is the first time in 3 years Ive been above the minimum for my paygrade... by less than 1%.
I have never received more than a 2.5% raise to my base pay. However, I have received a few Meets Expectations+ Bonuses, which is a few $$ more than Meets, but I didn’t hit Exceeds (make it make sense).
With that said, I did do an internal move up on pay grades to a new role and got a 10.8% increase on my base pay, plus higher bonus due to grade jump. In the end, total, it’s about a $15k increase. No complaints, I guess. I put the new increases all into my 401k.
