Any advice on how to ask for a pay rise and how much to ask for?
My work don’t give out yearly pay rises, we can ask for a pay rise however often we’d like and they decide yes or no.
I’ve been there 2 years now and I’ve had 2 increases, but recently I’ve taken on a lot more responsibility within my roles, so I do think I deserve a pay rise

Definitely go in with the expectation to justify why you deserve more money. Have a list of the extra responsibilities you've taken on and show how you've been managing your time and helping out your team. Wanting a raise is not enough; sometimes, you have to show them why you deserve it.

How long have you been working under increased workloads? Did you volunteer for the extra work, or was it delegated to you?

If you’ve been there for two years and received two raises, when did you receive your last raise? I probably wouldn’t give you another raise for at least a year from your last one…

How much? I’d say it depends… how critical is your job function? How has your performance been? I’d max out around 10%, and that’s aggressive… 5% is more manageable… 2-3% is standard…

If you've been taking on more responsibility and doing more work in your role, you're well situated to ask for a raise. Make your progress the focus of your argument. You're a more valuable and productive employee now than you had been and your compensation should reflect that. That's a good case to make.

Use your increased responsibility as justification. Be prepared to show examples

Make sure to have documentation of work that you've done that warrants a raise. Archive any emails where people told you "good job" or that you saved them time, or really anything along those lines.

Shoot your shot

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
