Anyone ever negotiated the salary raise with a promotion?

I've always written out exactly what I'm going to say before I go in to these meetings and I literally bring it with me on what looks like just something to write with so I can reference it if I get nervous. I cite my performance wins, any monetary growth I've directly contributed, as well as a summary of my plans moving forward. I continuously state my gratitude and excitement, and then sternly read my list of demands. I ask for a raise every 6 months so the first meeting was the most awkward but since then they've come to expect them. I ask for 5% every time. as far as who you ask - that's going to differ from role to role. I go to the CEO. HR isn't who you would ask where I work.

Thanks all! I got a raise with the promotion and based on recent demands, went back to ask for a few more thousand dollars and did not succeed with that ask. Until next time I guess...

Yup. I got a very generous amount. Nice WPP loophole but you have to position it correctly to leadership. I was also very very overdue for a raise/promo. Use your best judgement and just be honest.

@Leo I feel like I'm disclosing some big secret. this is more or less my second agency, and the first one gave me a raise without me having to ask every three months, and then a colleague told me to ask at my current agency every 6 months, so I do. I guess I'm just #blessed. but I also read that every 6 months is standard, particularly if you can prove your worth.

@CD1, definitely not standard

Some of us don't work in environments that allow us to seek raises every 5 seconds, and most of us certainly aren't that close with the CEO. However, I totally agree that noting your accomplishments, business wins, and other notable work that directly improved the agency is a great way to broach the subject and makes you look intelligent and serious about the role, not just whiney

@CD1 where on earth do you work where they're giving you a raise every six months?! Kudos tho

like

When you get a promotion, you're taking on more responsibility and accountability, yes? Then of course you ask for more money. Why would you not? You're grateful they're recognizing you, yes, but you're also taking on more work. It's a fair ask.

What exactly is the wait period after a promotion? Can I still open the conversation a month in? Or is that bad taste 😝

I would like to talk professionally so that they provide me a matching CTC or in case, they can't at least they don't block me for future openings.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?
