7 YOE in the data department with python/sql familiarity. Managing multiple projects, vendors, and client escalations on the data. Automated many processes and increased efficiency drastically over my time here, but feel no matter what else I do there is no room for growth unless I get a management role. There is no senior analyst or associate role here. Everyone outside of mgmt just falls into analyst pay band.
TC this year just raised to 112k, all base as no one in data besides managers get bonuses. Anyone have success in negotiating this with Bloomberg (again, in data department, not engineering)?
Also willing to hear where someone can go with my skills and what I should expect TC wise with my YOE.

Your time in BB and understanding of other parts of the BB will be very helpful for sure.
After 5 years in GD, straight out of college...I was making 160K as an IC (not in the group which shall not be named). A few months ago, I was forcibly moved to engineering. Immediately I got bumped to 190K. Manager suggests I have plenty of upside if I keep performing well.
That's the difference between GD and ENG.
Also, that da3 role *was* the elevated analyst role when I was in GD. Spares you from adsks, you get a bonus...that was my experience at least, and that role was for good programmers.
It's definitely not product management though, and if you like that part of your work, I encourage you to go for Product. I know a couple of people in GD who did just that, and they are much happier.
