Promotion Without a Raise: What Should I Do?

Here are a few tips if you're offered a promotion without a pay raise:

Be sure to negotiate your salary, no matter what
Start a negotiation; if you're interested in the position, make it clear that you're expecting a raise—at least down the road.

Build your skills… so you can explore other opportunities!
If salary negotiations fail, consider the offer from the perspective of your career goals. You can request substantial training support if you like the position—it will help you increase your market value, giving you the opportunity to explore other options later on!

Be careful not to become disillusioned with the position
. The key factor in deciding whether or not to accept the offer is to avoid frustration, because taking on additional workload, stress, or hours without compensation can quickly lead to disillusionment.
