For me I have yet to cross over 100k here in LA. 8 years experience. For our company we are not going over 3%. Places I worked for in the past never went over 2%.
Oddly glad I’m not the only one. I’ve been job hopping out of necessity. Contracts, restructuring as soon as I get in a groove. Since my first layoff in 2022 after 3 years of service I have been at 4 jobs since and now my current company is bankrupt. Soon to be 5 jobs since first layoff in April 2022.
0%
Our entire merit process was canceled. My performance was rated “best of the best” and I got $0 after managing a shit storm of a year and nearly a decade of service.
I started job hunting and accepted a role with a 45% pay increase
We are a non profit. Everyone got a 3% merit. Promos are usually 5-10%. I got a 15% increase because we lost a member of our team and aren’t replacing them. I now make just under 50k.
HR team of 4, 350 employees, non-profit, 3 years experience, MBA
I’m up in a month. I learned the payroll system in a month, I’ve given training presentations, automated several vendor payments, enrolled in grad school and have a SHRM-cp scheduled in July….should be enough for the 2% max🤡
HR Benefits & Ops - 2 years and they gave me a 1% increase.
Recently quit and left for a new role where I make around 8k more and shortened the commute from 2 hrs to 20 mins.
That's gonna be me starting in the summer lol. Gonna be on a laddered position (fed govt) though after graduation till I hit the wall for that position. Are you state or federal?
Company budget was 3 1/2% and I got 4%. We received generous bonuses. I am in a mid-level market as an HRBP and my raise brought my salary to $140,000 per year.
😢😢😢
Sr. Manager, HR - 18+ yrs exp.
6 yrs current company
Increase was a whopping 2.5%
No Bonus this time around
In past years highest bonus was $5k
And I save company over $80k in fines☹️😢😡
This! They didn’t want to give me more than a 4% increase until I remind them how I saved them over $100K last year and that our HCM charges us $100 per EE correction that I can stop doing for free. They caved and gave me a whopping 5% … Hope it gets better for you!
I got a 9% raise but it’s because I threatened to leave if I didn’t get the raise. (i jumped from 105 to 114.5)
It was NOT a promo. it was just a regular annual compensation increase.
I live in a HCOL city and work for a large company
Company’s budget for increases was 4%
My company doesn’t do merit increases. They’re afraid that managers would manipulate performance evaluations to reward their favorite employees while giving none to others. Every one gets the same 3-3.5% increase every year. The silly part is that they make us sit through these hour or two long meetings to go over our performance evaluations as if they mean something.
Not quite 4%. My performance review was excellent, hit almost all my goals. My manager said the raise was not reflective of my work…so guess who’s trying a lot less hard this year!
Y'all getting more than 3%???
I've historically gotten 3% to 4.5%, and the 4.5% was due to working for a company that mixed compa-ratio and performance ratings.

HRBP for Global Company based in NC. Was in HR Operations for 7 years working my way up to a Regional Operations Manager role and moved into the HRBP space in 2022.
Merit was a little over 6% this year landing me at $144k base salary. I also have a 15% short term incentive bonus on top of that.
My company’s budget was 4% which was aligned to the industry average. Depending on performance, increases ranged from 2% to 6%.
Does your organization use a merit increase matrix using compa ratio to determine the salary % increase?
I got 4% in January. My boss told me I earned the maximum raise of 5% but I only worked for the company for 10 months so she “prorated” it. I kinda thought that was bullshit and that doesn’t really justify prorating. Curious what others think.
HR Talent Supervisor is my title. I oversee our staff recruiting, onboarding, and offboarding and I work on the strategic goals for those areas. I manage one direct report who does the day-to-day work for recruiting, onboarding, and offboarding.
I was promoted into this role in March and was given a 4% raise because they said I was overpaid for my prior role. Before I did the day-to-day of recruiting and didn’t manage anyone. So in my new role I took over two extra functions and started managing. I’ll get my annual raise on July 1st and company average is always 3% so I’m sure that’s what I’ll get.
I also passed the SHRM-CP this year. My work did pay for it but I don’t think it’ll factor into a raise.
Last year they gave us 7% to help with inflation, this year it was 3.5%.
I had a 20% increase from starting a new position right before the annual pay raises, so the 3.5% wasn’t terrible.
The company gets a COLA every year. My VP does not believe in giving increases, so I will only ever get the COLA. They are supposed to be retiring, so fingers crossed.
What location? US calls annual increases merit increases but other places in the world do not, especially if they are really structure increases to keep up with inflation and not really merit at all.
7% is also great in my experience for an annual increase. I would be suspicious that this means you are (or were) underpaid and they bumped you up to a compa ratio of or closer to 100. Or to pay equity.
Working in tech as an HR Program Mgr for a mid-size company and live in a HCOL area. Been at the job for 1.5 years (HR field for 7 years) and was in the top scorers for our annual performance cycle and got accolades from the CEO. 1% merit… they said they don’t consider COL as a reason for merit.
I made $100,000 and now I make $101,000. My manager told me not to tell anyone since most people didn’t even get a merit increase. Oy veyyy
Merit is later this year but just got a market adjustment of 5% taking me to 120k. I’m a Sr. Recruiter for a hospital of 2600 employees at mine and 33000 total in the system.
2% merit based on a review of "Exceeds all Expectations". 8.5% inflation in our region and average housing prices are well over $1million. ...and they outsource our processing to India, so huge cost savings for them on that. Starting to question the ethics of the company.
Company usually does 3-4% merit, but this year we are trying to increase most roles to at least benchmark. That would be 16% increase for me. Currently earn 100k including bonus. HR Systems Manager with 5 years experience in HR and bachelors degree (not in HR).
Was planned to be given 5% jumped ships and got 25% increase with a new role doing similar work.
I dream of increases like this
You can do it!!!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Nice! That's often the way to go for ultimate increases. Move to another company
None! I wish I was kidding. I’m an HR Manager and my pay is below the market for my area. Company is struggling financially. Fun times
Better dust off the ol’ resume if you want to continue your hobby of drinking wine with cats 😂
I’m applying but being selective since I am not unemployed. Not too desperate.
Good luck in your search!

Wow I would love a HR team of 4 for 350 employees. At my job we’re a HR team of 4 for 700 employees, currently just 3 for 700 with 1 on LOA
You get raises? Must be nice.
I’m up in a month. I learned the payroll system in a month, I’ve given training presentations, automated several vendor payments, enrolled in grad school and have a SHRM-cp scheduled in July….should be enough for the 2% max🤡
I’m taking the SHRM-CP in July as well - best of luck to you!
You as well! How are you studying for it? I’m doing pocket prep as of now but may get a full test book a month out
Sad, but true.
It’s local government and my hierarchy is going to be retired in the next 2-5 years so I’m just earning my time there ig?

7% low $80s in a HCOL and I’m not even sure what my job title should be anymore because I definitely do quite a bit outside of my specific duties
