I asked for a $5k raise at my review and got a promotion instead

I went in with a list of my projects from the last year, and my manager offered me a team lead role on the spot. Has anyone else had a raise request turn into a bigger change?

Happened to me last year asking for a cost of living bump. They created a whole new senior specialist role for me, which was wild. The pay increase ended up being way more than I asked for, but the workload jumped too. Totally get what briancampbell is saying, make sure the new duties match the new salary.

Just make sure the new title actually comes with more money.
