so a bunch of us got promoted on monday and also our yearly merit increase.
so i was told it was easier to get a raise after a yearly review. anyway i ended up getting a 2.5% merit increase and another 7% raise for going from "software engineer" to "senior software engineer". the group of us who got promotions were talking and it kind of seemed like a small raise (just from past experience) , not that im not glad to take it.
now my responsibilities have not changed at all (or maybe i had too many before), i told them basically i thought i should get a promotion 6-7 months ago when i said somethign to the tune of "i realize when i took this job i didnt have a ton of experience at this particular programming language, but i'm doing far more than some of the senior people we have at this point so i think i should at least have the same title"
anyway what do you guys think , 7% raise for a promotion normal?
