Just testing the water here, as looking at our very tight budget, as I'm sure many are.
DH and I both work in senior end of middle management for large employers that are doing well at the moment ( could of course change!).
Neither of us has had a pay rise in some years - me six - DH in about 8. DH has moved employers twice in that time - once on a promise which didn't work out and again to move to somewhere with better prospects. It's less of an option for me to move for various reasons.
We have a disabled DC and have found that all provisions died over the pandemic so we are paying privately - but it's over £1000 a month - which is becoming really hard to sustain.
Just wondered what others were seeing in the market at this level? I get top performance grades but am regularly told that pay increases are concentrated on more junior colleagues (which I don't disagree with).
