How do I negotiate a raise? It’s my first job out of college, I’ve been in the same position for 2 years with increased responsibilities and I feel nervous on how to ask for a raise.

To successfully ask for a raise, be ready to make a good case for yourself and demonstrate that you're a valuable employee. Jot down some of the things you've done that have gone well at work, and be ready to talk about them. Focus on the theme of improvement, and emphasize that you've grown in the position and you're a more valuable employee than you were when you first started, and your compensation should reflect that.

Starting the conversation is the hardest part. Ask your manager what you need to do in order to request a raise based on your tenure, work ethic, increased responsibilities, etc. Odds are they will have a process and can walk you through it.

I would come straight out ask for competitive raise for others doing same work. I wouldn't use people in their company, you have obviously saw they don't respect you haven't upgraded your pay. Using ones in the company will show any that are underpaid, and shows you talking with others about your pay. I would explain the substandard pay what you did to meet their expectations, detail everything you had to do learn how to do and explain why deserve the job with reaasons should get a raise doing more work, I'm confident you were grossly underpaid from the beginning so start looking for a job because more than likely ( You Will HAVE To HAVE )have a job before this is over somewhere else.hey seldom ever give raises especially if they think you are comfortable with position in their firm. Obviously they won't give a raise because you deserve it. Start looking get really good leads on new jobs and if at all possible get letters of recommendation while you can. The raise will probably come for next employee not you that's how they are when you point out their shortcomings. New one will probably get 3 times the raise.

Hey Research Operations. Cudos for advocating for yourself! My org had a table of job responsibilities and expected behaviors for each level in a particular role. Find this and provide quantified (if you can) proof of how you met/exceeded expectations at your current level AND the next level. Also suggest making a regular practice of downloading this documentation and all your performance reviews and feedback for the future. That way you have it for your resume and future roles. Best of luck to you!

I would start doing research to identify how much of a raise you want. Be prepared to justify the ask. I normally try to work it into normal end of year review conversations since that’s more formal and already an established cadence

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

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…

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
