How do I go about a raise negotiation when I’m being underpaid? I didn’t know how to negotiate when I was first offered the job, so I took what they offered. After a year of working there, I’ve gotten a new title and I now cover for three other positions who have quit since I’ve started. Looking at other salaries in my position, I’m being underpaid by at least 50%. How do I go about this? I understand typical raises are 5-10%, but this company isn’t fairly compensating my time and work.

Easiest way is to leave the company and get something new but if you are willing to stay and stick it out.

I would suggest you watch some Simon Sinek videos he has a ton of great advice about how to get some upwards movement giving management yes or no questions but forcing them to either help or show they don’t care about you.

Thank you for the suggestion! I do like my job and what I do. The others I cover for give me more knowledge; I use this as further experience. But I trust my direct boss enough that she may be able to help guide me in this matter.
But in all cases, I also believe looking at other jobs won’t hurt. This is all giving me more experience (and more for my resume!), but I have a hard time quitting this job as I like what I do.

One tip someone told me is to counter with this exact phrase: "Would you be open to discussing a number I had in mind?" Puts it on them for not hearing you out- I had a friend secure a 30% raise that way

I agree with this. I used this tactic recently during my 1:1 end of year self review to open the conversation. Be prepared to talk and back up your findings. If you also have data points on salary based on the current’s role current compensation, you should provide that to the hiring manager.

So what should you be getting paid? And I agree with Program Manager 1.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

General Question!
According to the new Wage Rules, are companies giving Basic Salary as 50% of fixed Pay? Should we ask HR of our current company or the next company to actually do the same? Or the rule isn't a mandate and it's upon companies to follow it ?

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
