I've seen a lot of posts on here encouraging the same base pay for the same role. My company doesn't do that at all. They are also ultra secretive about pay "bands". We have "grades" ie level 7, 8, 9, etc but then the pay structure in each "grade" has "bands" that vary by 50k+.
So I could be a grade 8 making 130k but another grade 8 could make 110k or 150k.
I've collected this information basically by crowd sourcing, as they keep it locked up tight. I'm starting to interview for new roles and want to negotiate my salary to the best of my ability. Any advice on how you'd tackle that with so much secrecy around the options?
Thanks in advance!
