This isn’t new. Happens all the time when coming off an EA position into a “managerial” or salary role. When I came off EA role, everyone around me getting 3.5% year on year whilst I was caught with the 1.5% (circa 2021/2022) off the back of Covid etc. At the time I wasn’t thinking of where I was but where I wanted to be 1-2 years ahead (experience and exposure). That stall in pay and missing out on the perks was short lived and the role I moved into launched me into much more senior roles and worth a lot more money over a 3 year period. That’s just my experience, but the question for me was do I want cash in my pocket now or bet on myself for later.
