There was a position I reviewed recently where the salary range was 54k-147k. What a complete waste of time.

Sounds like you can make more money with less responsibility with the posted job - apply for that.

Thanks, I will do that. Seems HR partners never want to divulge that salary band info, at least in my org. They just started posting salary bands for new job postings this year because of state law.
This is a Fortune 100 org, if that matters
Why not ask HR to confirm your salary range and ask their process for start point salaries. Should not be a secret. I would expect your salary to not be at the top end of your range if you just got a raise. My company's standard process is to offer start salaries between the first and second quartile.Ghost of Bisbee said:
Scenario:
You've been on the team for 3 years. Been promoted once during that time, with this promo being fast tracked and happening much faster than most on the team
Your salary has risen about 40% since joining, through a combo of mid-year raises, promo, and making a case for a raise
Your org has not had layoffs, but they also aren't hiring anyone and have been on a hiring freeze over the last year. There has been turnover on the team, so you've been doing the work of 2+ resources and have record of showing above and beyond work
You notice on the career page of your org a recent job posting for a resource one level under your's in the hierarchy on the same team, and there's a $60K salary band range shown for that role.
The high end of that range is nearly $30K higher than your current salary, and again, you're one level above that job role.
What do you do when you submit your self assessment?
Do you make a case for a salary raise that puts you at or above the high end of that range of the role that's 1 level below yours?
How aggressively or conservatively do you use that info?y's
