Finance accidentally sent out everyone’s salary and 401k info to everyone.... they recalled it and asked everyone to delete but now I’m seeing I’m on the lower end of pay for my title/position.... can I use this as ammo for a raise?

Plenty of valid points here about pay inequities across groups. Don’t know your situation or whether that applies to you so not going to make assumptions there - if so then that’s a whole other thing to unpack. But here’s one other thing that is always the toughest conversation to have: setting aside systemic issues, pay at agencies is also merit based. Top performers get paid more. Weaker performers get paid less. So if you’re going to have a conversation about it, I’d come at it from a stance of “I saw my salary in the mix and I’d to (a) understand it and (b) know what I can do to close it.”

Alternatively, if you want to take more of a stance my number one piece of advice would be to avoid making it about you vs another individual - make it about your value to the company. Everyone is at their own stage of their career and has unique factors so comparisons are a non-starter at a 1:1 level. Come in with “I think I’m worth XX more and here’s my evidence”, and back it up with client/team testimonials, new biz track record, project successes etc.

Your answer is: yes. And don't feel a bit of shame. In fact, management is probably doing calls to fight against your exact situation.

You should totally ask for a raise… but before you do, ask yourself why the others are paid better. Do you win as much business as them? Are their accounts bigger with a bigger retainer fee? Are they better at presenting ideas to the client? Have they been there longer? Have they received offers from other businesses that were then countered by your employer?

Worry less about the title and more about your contribution. Then the money will come.

And more importantly, ask yourself: are you, or could you be, a white dude?

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience). I was told I am one of the top employees in the firm. When I asked about a raise, I was told “when you think about it at your level 5k to 10k doesn’t really matter it’s the long term goal that matters”. What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?
