How many times is too many times? I just had the third conversation in 5 months with my manager about raising my salary. I even asked him today if he knows that I'm never getting the raise approved but just stalling on telling me the truth. He's not. He says "They're actively working on it". Should I be offended it's taking this long or is this how it goes?

Is this an out of cycle raise? If so, these things take time and are generally more difficult to approve.

I don’t think you ever want to be antagonistic here asking for more money, and I’d honestly be annoyed if my directs came at me like you did. Just get another offer to internally move imo at this point.

I give you credit for asking three times, but why didn’t you ask *when* he expects it to be approved?
Mostly I think you should be interviewing for a new job though.
This is all assuming you’re actually good at what you do.

Yeah, you should be changing your question to align more with then 'when', 'how soon', so he's not just giving you vague replies. I'm proud of you for standing for yourself and asking as often, but I'd have stopped long before three times.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting?

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
