Have you ever asked for a raise? If so, what did you say?

Yes. I have. Here's what I'd do and have done. I've been successful with it.

Make your argument for why you're an asset and discuss how you've helped the company. Write it all down on paper. Maybe put together a little powerpoint for the discussion if your supervisor is a visual person. Yes. Your supervisor should know your value, but they can be so caught in the day-to-day, that they needed to be reminded of the details.

The one thing I wouldn't do is bring up your financial issues. I've worked for law firms and large companies. I can tell you that your lifestyle is not their problem. Instead, you go in with the "Here's my value. Here's what I'm capable of" mindset. If they don't respond, you start looking for new employment. They'll recognize they should have given you the raise when you come in with two-weeks notice and a better offer.

The results of the last 2 years have been very good, considering this, you could analyze the possibility of a salary increase for all the members of the I.T. team.

It’s getting hard for me to turn down 3x my current comp from competitors …

When you refer to raise, do you mean the usual 2-3% that most companies give annually (not all do), or like the substantial raises of 7-15% ?

The former just happens annually, but later is more with a push.

This question is quite broad and subjective but would love to hear some thoughts. For a couple with family income of about 60 LPA in India, is it wise to move to Canada/UK via the PR route? I have seen no matter how much experience you have, it's usually about building up from scratch.

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
