Hi, for the past year I have been studying IT for a career change, and studying for Comptia A+, I have now passed Core1, on Friday I have my Core2 then getting the Certification. For an entry level position as a Cyber Security Consultant with no experience, so all training would be on the job, what should the expected salary be (living in London) , some advice would be great. I have landed a job, and would like to know if the offer is decent.
Generally. Companies give everyone the raise merit raise. They try to keep them at 3% average. So between 2-4% depending on how well you performed. But most 1 years it’s probably 3%. Now. That said. With inflation who knows what companies will do this year. Last year mine gave minimum 6% across the board. So who knows.
Industry and location are going to matter here.. Also, does the company do annual raises across the company or are they handled every year upon each employees review?
Based on my current company 2.5-3% is fairly standard annually.. but it hasn’t been unheard of to get 5-7% depending on the employees situation. 5-7% is not the standard it would be a one off for high performance or someone the may be low on he pay scale type thing.
3% is most common. It’s basically a COLA, to combat inflation.
Basically this. If you want something outside of a col raise you need to ask for something outside of a merit raise. But at one year experience. Don’t you get very far with it.
