Hello, I need some advice on how much I should ask for a raise.

I'm a QA Analyst for an IT Company in the PH that specializes in web-based systems. I've been working for them for almost 3 years (1 yr internship, almost 2 years as an independent contractor. I earn 22k/mo after taxes post-internship.

I'm the only QA and we have multiple projects at the same time. There are times that I need to work late because our developers deploy late at night and we have demonstrations the following day.

You could probably ask for 30k at your current experience. That's what I'd ask at least, maybe even 31k. But definitely be ready to justify why you're worth such a big increase from where you're at now, including market rates in your area.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Hello!

Any advice on how to request a 20% raise? This is my first career out of college. I signed my offer letter knowing that I was being underpaid by 10%, as per the posted position salary. My 1-year appraisal is close and I would like to request 20% based on an increased workload; I would also like to make up for being underpaid my first year.

My dilemma: Many companies only pay up to a 4% raise. However, that will not cover much in this economy, and I would still be still underpaid.
