Look on salary.com and look up the experience with that and if you have only been there a year I would not push 25K raise? What did you bring to the table ? Did you receive EOY bonus or other recognition or rewards? I would honestly go for 5-10% or ask at your 1 year review. If you don’t have comps available to show them that you are making under the average and performing at the exceeds level consistently. I would doubt they have a way to get you 10% 6.5K increase let alone 20% 13K 40% @ 26K raise. I can tell you with my experience 20 years we don’t give raises like that even if we wanted to! I’ve received exceedingly expectations over achieving metrics and even the time the covering for coworkers we get -<1-2% a year even at 4-9% inflation. Times are tough and the company’s know it and have the advantage right now. Make up a plan present the plan even if you request qtrly reviews and target compensation. Have the data and facts on the market and the ranges for your area and other areas or locations. Wish you luck and if they say know be prepared to take that away and start your job search
I would also suggest getting hard core exp that isn’t just soft personal skills. I don’t care what people say, hard tech skills and certs get you paid. If you don’t have any of it, you’re putting a nail in your own coffin.
I work in SaaS at a start up as well as a Customer Success Manager I am now making around 90k CAD. I have many years of experience and an MBA
With no degree and no prior exp, just being honest, you’re lucky to be making that amount. Then again startups don’t play by normal rules. Most big established techs now want a ton of exp, certs and a degree.
