I've been approached and offered a position w/in my company. The position is one level up from my current. The job duties are somewhat similar. The hiring manager didn't realize his email has the link to the requisition which included all info including compensation. It contained five compensation levels namely:

Entry minimum, Target minimum, Midpoint, Target Max, & Premium Max.

My current salary is 7k below the 'Target Minimum". HR recruiter offered me a total lateral move. How should handle this situation? I would like to at least get the "Target Minimum". Please advise -- thanks!

How does it compare to Entry Minimum? Also, internal transfers tend to be at lower rates then the position compensation. The advantage to you is that it will probably mean bigger raises until you make it up to the rated compensation. But, assuming you haven't made a decision, you can go back and tell them you feel, since the job is at a higher level that you should get a bump in salary.
