I worked for HP during the HP/E split. Number one tip: don't work at HP (if you want to actually get the raise).

I just got laid off from HPE in October, and my next position had more than a 20% salary increase, so I have to second this HARD.

Also I would really hesitate to take advice from HPE...

Ironically, the author of the article is best known as a humorist (a really good one too). They perhaps could not find someone in-house to write an HPE-career-advice article with a straight face, so they had to outsource it?
