I am a Manufacturing engineer degree apprentice in my first year. I am currently on 8.60 an hour along with the Level 3 machinist apprentices. I do not think this is fair as I apply myself far more and feel there is more expectation on myself to pick up skills much quicker and to a better level. All apprentices go up to 10.50 in September, I feel I should be raised more than the others especially to match degree apprenticeship average wage. How should I approach this?

Your an apprentice. Your feelings don't matter. Your feelings won't matter in 10 yrs. Get your experience and keep your emotions out of every negotiation. Become the top 10% at what you do, be confident and learn to negotiate and you will never have to worry.

Thank you for your response, I completely agree with what your saying. But it is hard to ignore the fact that as a Level 6 apprentice I am on the same wage as a Level 3 apprentice. I was employed with some prior expierience/qualifications and the job was advertised as competitive pay. It is about 4/5 grand lower than average salary for a Level 6 apprenticeship.

My biggest raise was from my first machine shop to the second. Learn as much as you can. In the field for 6 years now and make triple what I did from my first shop job. Where are you located?

Burnley, Lancashire

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. 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?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
