Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

If it’s a big company you can ask for a market adjustment (IME, they happen twice a year but more so to alleviate salary compression due to tenure). Else you’re stuck waiting for a promo or a breakout EOY rating and raise.

If it’s a small company you can probably attempt a renegotiation at any time but I will say at 2 months in the odds are against you. Get to 6 months, have some noteworthy wins under your belt, you’ll be in a very strong position.

Yes, I asked for salary recalibrations during my last two year-end reviews. That got me above-average hikes on both occasions, but I'd like to believe it was also driven by my performance and unsolicited offers from other companies. The 3 things I would suggest are strong research for market comparables, rehearsal for the actual conversation, and clear communication on your expectations. Employees almost never get the salary raises they don't ask for.

All the best!

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
