How often should you get a raise at work?

I think that it should keep up with annual inflation rate. Anything else seems pretty brutal given the cost of living. I understand that businesses struggle but is that really a reason to not give raises? I am struggling to really understand this. I don’t even think we should ask for raises. It should just be adjusted automatically like every bill.


Am I the only one? Should I refuse job openings without annual raises?

Raises should be annual in my opinion. My last job picked and chose who got a raise. You’d have a great annual review and get no reward for it. We’ve lost 20 people in Operations this year due to not giving people raises.

At least once a year to acknowledge performance and inflation too

Hi there, I’ve been told that Deloitte (London, UK) is going to make me an offer but haven’t heard back and it’s been over two weeks. The recruiter mentioned it would be around the “m2 grade”. Any idea what this pay range is? … I have 3 YOE working in NHS finance and have applied for a position in Risk Advisory, public sector. Curious what life at Deloitte is like? Does a work life balance exist?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

I will get a pay increase regardless so I want to negotiate in case I don’t get a “good” increase.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
