<prompt> Human: So Im up for promotion in my banking job that Ive had for six years. I last received a promotion at year three where I got a small 5 raise with an extra week of vacation two increased to three. We typically get a 2 cost of living raise each year. This promotion coming up is much bigger than the last one in terms of responsibility. Ill be managing a couple lower level employees and Ill be dealing with compliance, which means there will be a spotlight on me and my group most of the time. Anyway, my boss and I were discussing some details of the promotionnew responsibilities. I asked about details on an increase in pay and if more vacation days would be possible. He said he had no idea because HR decides all of that. That surprised me. I really dont feel comfortable trying to renegotiate my salary with HR and I want to make sure Im not getting screwed with by my boss, who might or might not be trying to avoid the subject. Any input on this would be helpful.  <response>: I really dont feel comfortable trying to renegotiate my salary with HR Why not? just respond to their offer like I was actually hoping for at least xxx since the responsibilities blah blah blah.... And do some research on what others in that position make.Ask your boss if you need help, Im sure hell give you advice.
