Got promoted this cycle at a mid-size startup (~2 YOE, engineering role), but overall hikes across the company seem a bit conservative this year.

Wanted to understand two things from people in similar situations:

1. What % hike is considered a strong outcome in the current market alongside a promotion?
2. After reaching this stage/title, how difficult was it for you to switch to better-paying product companies/startups?

Trying to get a realistic sense of the market right now.
