Are annual raises really not a thing in this industry? I’ve been with my company a year and a half and asked for one and was basically told they don’t happen unless the company does really well overal

Don’t accept how shitty this industry can be as the “norm”. Last the last year inflation rate by the Bureau of Labor Statics was 2.18% alone. Make yourself heard, then bail if no actions follow

No. That’s why people find a new agency every 2-3 years.

That can happen. You have to be super annoying about it to get it. That being said as an AAE you should be promoted after 12-15 months

That’s a lie

For you, maybe. I’ve been on staff at 8 places. Got a single raise. At one of those agencies. It took 4 years. However, by changing jobs, I’ve gotten serious increases. By freelancing, earned a lot more annually.

Raises are few and far between. I get pay increases by jumping

Yes. Get out now. Switch to sales or the client side. Better income. Better benefits. Better work life balance. Better career planning

Annual raises are not a thing, but raises are a thing. It’s 100% at your boss’ discretion.

Go to a big shop. Annual raises are a thing.

Salaries were much better before the last recession. Once it hit and there were mass layoffs, agencies realized they could hire everyone back for about 30% less. It never really got better

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Would greatly appreciate input from others.
