After asking around I know that I am very underpaid...5yoe, IT project manager, govt consulting with PMP/CSM certified in DC. I have tendency to sell myself short and need to stop doing this!! Any idea how much I should be asking? I understand there are other factors that play into salary but just a rough estimate or your salary/qualifications would be great data points for me to reference!

Job hopping is one of the best ways to increase salary.

Also advocating for yourself. I found this really hard to do in my first few years but it gets easier.

The best thing you can do is arm yourself with knowledge about market rate for your skill set. Then it's not you whining for more money, it's you showing that there is a fair value for your skill set and asking to be compensated accordingly. When I could refer to X article or y statistics showing what similarly skilled people are making, it helped me negotiate up by 5 figures.

I once heard that the quality of a person's life is determined by how many uncomfortable conversations they are willing to have. It doesn't always hold but I like the idea. Get in the habit of having uncomfortable conversations about money and you'll get better at not selling yourself short

You are spot on. I am usually perceived as someone “agreeable” and I try to avoid confrontations or uncomfortable conversations at all cost (quiet literally here). Hey, really appreciate you sharing the insight.

I think you can hit at least 100k with a big 4. Probably can come in as a senior consultant.

It'll come down to how confident you can come off as and how well your resume is written.

I’ve successfully asked for 2 pay raises in my 7 year career. As others have mentioned, do research on what people with similar credentials at your company are making. I would agree that the 90-100k range sounds right but check online and with peers. Then, be ready with examples of strong performance in the past, and bring up your credentials (ex: certifications). When it comes to the actual conversation, be straightforward with what you want and why you deserve it. You got this!!

Thanks for sharing your experience and the encouragement!

How much are you making right now?

90-100k should be easily doable. Start looking around.

Ask for how much you think that you are worth. If company can’t afford you... there are millions of others (globally) that can.

90-100 feels about right

You should be asking for 90-100k. What kind of client are you supporting?

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
