I am being promoted to Project Admin from Admin Asst. My current salary is 50k and will jump to 58k. Is it unreasonable for me to ask/negotiate for 60k when I know the person who had the position before me was getting paid way more than 60k and got kicked off their team because they couldn’t keep up and their project manager asked for my promotion so I can be on their team.

I would absolutely try to negotiate. Be prepared of course with why, but also be prepared to hear no. Good luck!

I suggest always negotiating. The worst that can happen is that they say no

You absolutely should negotiate for higher. The worst they can do is say no. We have a tendency to feel like we’re being greedy or are unworthy of the increase, when in reality, what you’re asking for is perfectly reasonable. In this day and age most companies only give out annual COLA raises which invariably are below the rate of inflation, so each year you effectively take a pay cut. Always aim for the highest salary up front. Chances are it’s never going to get better in your current role.

Def negotiate

Definitely negotiate! Also— having the market average salary for that kind of role will be helpful if that indicates a salary higher than $60k in your area for Project Admins. They want to remain competitive, and it costs less for them to keep you and pay you a little more than to hire externally.
Have confidence in yourself as you move up, and they’ll meet you in that negotiation.

Absolutely negotiate ! What’s the harm, the worst outcome, they just say no! Good Luck 🍀 to you 👍
