First performance review. How do you bring up a raise? Firm knows I came in on a lesser offer than another firm offered. I’d like to at least make that amount the other firm offered for next year.

Apologies for the bluntness below :)

Your bargaining power over that offer is long gone. Best thing you can do is make your case on your impact to the firm.

As a first year associate your best bet for big bumps in pay are movement between firms and promotion

You’re already in the seat. Why should they pay you more?... use metrics to prove your point.

agree with the above. we don’t talk about it openly but most pay systems are designed to norm everyone to the middle. while i definitely wouldn’t mention how you accepted their lesser offer, you should reference what you’ve accomplished and how that’s created VALUE above and beyond what you’re being paid. you are paid in proportion to the value you generate and the difficulty of the problems you solve. you don’t get paid more just because you’ve been there a year and they should make up for lowballing you. and if you make a good case and don’t get what you think you should, be prepared to talk with your feet and leave.

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?
