Hi all - not COVID-19 related however what is the best way to strategically ask for a raise/more benefits at your first job when 1) it hasn’t been over a year but you’ve been getting really good feedback that the work you’re doing is great and 2) there’s another role available that’s offering a higher salary that you are more than qualified to take on. My boss seems to not budge and continues to give me the “there’s nothing we can do on our end due to budget xyz etc”

Company CEOs are hoarding money right now because they're getting ready for a huge crash, prices are skyrocketing here in the United States across all states. With that said, right now is first quarter, budgets are in place and companies are looking to hire new candidates. If your current company will not give you a raise and you are desperately needing one you can either apply for the higher paying position. Or what I recommend, is start tailoring your resume and applying to new positions that will pay you market value.

That’s what I had in mind originally. Thanks for your input

Asking for a raise less than a year into your first job isn’t a great look.

No reason not to apply, but you took the original offer on your own.

Little did they know, the analyst owned his own home and rented all the rooms out so he payed no rent, never ate out, only grocery shopped, and very very rarely bought anything new. He saved most of his income, and was perfectly content with just his video games. That man was serious about not being stuck working forever.
