I’m currently a senior data engineer with 3 YOE at a midsize consulting firm in a HCOL area on the west coast. I currently make 125k base and no bonus or equity so I’m as it is already well below the average. my company recently got acquired and went through a round of furloughs with more likely coming. I was told that I’m being promoted to a “career advisor lead” which is functionally a lead data engineer position in terms of responsibility (be on sales calls and make sales, scope and lead engagements, manage 7 reports). I was also told there will be no pay adjustment, my older mentor figures in life are telling me to take it but I’ve gone through this cycle before where you get underpaid and overworked for a year at a job until you find a new one and see a pay adjustment and I’m sorta sick of it. I mostly just don’t want to take the new pile of responsibilities and start to hate the job due to resentment. I really like the job right now, it’s not crazy high stress, I’m learning a lot and I feel the compensation is at least fair for the work. Is this just the reality of work now? do I have to take a hit for a year before I jump for the big pay jump?
