Before you ask for a raise… ask yourself this: Is it really about the money, or have you outgrown the role altogether? This is something I have come to realize lately about my current role and I don't believe that asking for a raise in my current role will satisfy my need to grow. How do you feel about where you are?

That brings up a good point. What I'd rather have currently is a promotion into a better role. Which, I'm told, is not currently possible. So a raise would not change that, but, hey, a raise would still be good to have.

Yeah, I totally get that. When you’re stuck in a role that no longer feels like the right fit (or is just straight up holding you back), a raise can feel like putting a Band Aid on a broken leg. It’s nice to have more money coming in, but it doesn’t fix the bigger frustration of being told you're not ready

I do feel that not enough people are asking themselves this. Certain roles are always going to be capped. Getting a raise in your current position is not always feasible. Sometimes, it’s moving to the next level and getting into that new pay band that matters more.

I’m a new patent prosecution associate and unfortunately only just now realized that maybe prosecuting patents isn’t something I want to do long term. I loved copyright (and trademark) in law school, but I have loans to pay off. Should I stick it out in my current role to pay them off before I jump ship to a new practice area or will I be pigeonholed forever to patents if I stay here for 2-3 years?
