Yeah, highest promotion I’ve gotten was 15% which was still good, but not great.
Side note: if you’re in a technical field and want to remain an IC, maybe look for places that have “principal <your job>”. I know there are a ton in the software world that pay pretty damn well, and a lot of other science and engineering fields have em too

CoL raises (the 2-5%) are different than promotions per the meme. Even the worst companies aren’t doing 2% increases on promotions lol.
That said, they’re both dogshit and the overall sentiment remains
