Good Afternoon. I have been with my current company for ten months. They quickly realized that I was overqualified for the position I was given. I have been increasingly given more responsibility and even more side projects. I have also been proactive and searching for internal positions that fit my skill set. Can I get suggestions on when would be the opportune time to ask for a raise? Should I wait until my one year anniversary? How should I go about this?

I would ask anywhere past 6 months, so I think it's okay to ask now. Especially if it's blatantly obvious that you're taking on extra responsibilities and working outside of your position. Since they already know this, I think you should have a fairly easy time negotiating for one. Be straightforward and present the evidence of your value to the company, and how what you're doing now is outside of the salary range of the position you're in.

Ask right away. There is nothing to be gained by waiting, and nothing to lose by asking. Talk about the value you bring and do research to know what the market rate is for the work you are actually doing.

You always want to be talking about this before your manager makes a decision. The best scenario is always the “no surprises” case.

Update: Got a promotion instead! They did it before I even asked!

Happy Wednesday!!!!

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

I’m on a 6-month extendable contract and my manager really likes me; she always says that they want to convert me ASAP, however they don’t have the budget right now to hire me. They plan to hire me by the end of the year (7-month mark) but that means I won’t get paid for 3 days during thanksgiving and a whole week during December. How can I push for them to make me permanent as soon as possible? This is my first job out of college so I’m not sure how to approach this situation.

Hi everyone!

Any advice is appreciated 👏

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??
