Does IBM offer yearly salary bumps? I’ve heard people getting 5% or so in product. Is that common/good?
4% to 5% is basic.
IBM tho
If someone have 200k , 5 % is a lot
Depends on your team and role just like any company. I know people who got more than 5% this year.
It’s possible to get 5%. My understanding is that the average is around 1%, with managers having to spread that among their reports. The big bumps come with promotions (~30%).
Yea I know a band promotion is anywhere from 26 - 30%.
Do promotions happen from band 9 to 10? I have read its pretty rare?
Once you get to salary midpoint expect to live there unless you can move to the next band.
Yeah you get 10 Watson credits deposited into your IBMAcount
