I work for a big corporation in Texas, and have found myself trying to determine what will my next steps be. Employees have a tool to browse the job openings, and the responsibilities of the positions, but again, salaries are given in ranges, so wide indeed, there is no real answer to the question "would my wages be raised if I switch jobs inside the company", which is ridiculous.
I could also find myself making less money than someone who technically is on a lower leven in the hierarchy, even if we both are doing the same job.
So every year, when my supervisor asks me where do I want my career to go to, I'm stuck between what I want to do, and how much more I want to earn, which is not great.
