Negotiate a raise after being passed over for promotion
Immediate — days to weeks
Context
I was passed over for a promotion that went to someone less experienced. My manager said I'm 'not quite ready.' I've been here 3 years, consistently hit targets, and I know I'm being paid below market. I'm considering making a formal ask or starting to look.
Goal
Decide whether to push for a raise now, start an active job search, or do both — without burning a bridge I might still want to keep.
