Pay rise

[fretted]

Ive just been told that i got a 3% payrise versus the 1% meted out to my colleague. Should i be happy? Or feel that i could get a more substantial rise by moving on?

Im not normally materialistic but i have worked very hard this year and not sure that the situation will get better in the following years.

Its about a 2k raise in real terms.

Thanks for the responses guys.

I like my job but there is definitely a limit to a progressive career path, hence getting a good raise sweetens the bitter pill of limited promotion opportunities.

The problem i see is that with Brexit looming, my company will use that as an excuse to keep salaries down for the next couple of years.

I work for one of the big four and we all made about 10% growth this year, so the sector doesnt appear to be struggling at the moment.
