Has anyone successfully negotiated a salary increase after completing a bachelors degree while employed with the same company? Tips? Tricks? How did you approach the conversation?

My employer doesn’t seem to value degree completions unless you are a pharmacist. Which is total BS!

I wasn't able to negotiate one when I finished my bachelors either. I thought that it would level me up a lot, but the company I was at seemed totally indifferent. But I was able to apply somewhere else and increase my salary (probably in-part due to the bachelor's I had just earned).

I’ve been dealing with this situation at my current company for 2 years smh

If the company feels that your degree isn't really helpful to them, they may not be impressed. It would be good if they promoted you and gave you a raise, but from their perspective it may not make sense. A good strategy would be to take your degree to another company and get a better job.

Just ask for what you want. All they can say is no

And then OP can say "bai, witch".

I can see why they might have chosen not to. Wages are tied to your responsibility on the job. So while your degree might have added more value to your insights, if your responsibilities have not inceaased then it's not the right time. See where you can take on bigger projects and make your list of what you're doing bigger than what you were hired to do and try again then perhaps ;)

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.
