Hi everyone, I’m a mid-level procurement Ops manager for a food manufacturing company in Canada, have been with my current company for ~5-6 years and currently doing my SC certification. My company is going through SAP implementation for 1 of the 2 sites we have. 1st implementation is a mess. More implementation is to be done for 2nd site. I want to ask for a raise from 70K to 80/85K - is this too much or too little…? How should I approach this convo?
Appreciate all your comments!
Thank you,

You're in a strong position as a mid level Procurement Ops Manager with 5-6 years tenure, especially while pursuing your SC certification and being knee deep in a messy SAP implementation. This SAP work, even if challenging, significantly boosts your value, showing you're handling complex, high-stakes initiatives. Given all this, a jump from $70k to $80-85k seems like a very reasonable and justified request, not at all too much; in fact, it might even be conservative for the added responsibility and stress you're managing.

When you approach this conversation, prepare to highlight your consistent contributions over the past five to six years, focusing on the tangible impact you've made. Crucially, emphasize your indispensable role in the current and upcoming SAP implementations, you're navigating critical company-wide changes. Mention your SC certification as proof of your ongoing professional growth and increased value. Do a quick check on market rates for similar roles in Canada to reinforce your argument, then practice your pitch. Be clear, confident, and professional when you present your case, focusing on the value you bring to the company.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
