Inside vs Outside hire salery comparisons

Curious to hear what everyone else's experience on this is.


Have you been promoted and risen the ranks from within? Are you fairly compensated to your peers that are outside hires?


Or are outside hires always paid more ect?

Are you fairly comped against your outside hire peers?

I tend to look at things in the same light we look at sports. For the most part, as much as I don't agree, "free agents" almost always end up getting paid more than highly drafted rookies on their first contract.  The many levels that this doesn't make sense are abundant, but this is still how most sales orgs work.  I've personally moved away from hiring a ton of "free agent" talent, focused on building a team and pushing growth from within.

external hires get paid more: fact
Internal progression: better internal opportunities to grow and make a name for yourself

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
External movements are the fastest way to build up comp based on everything I've seen

That's why we job hop. It's easier to get money. It's sad, but true.

Any company that is going to offer you a role will be willing to listen to a counter negotiation from you on salary. Show the numbers of what you’re leaving behind and ask for a first year salary bump or upfront payment to compensate. If you don’t ask they’ll never offer.
