I am curious if anyone has ever successfully challenged a low pay grade. I feel like my role has evolved way beyond my current internal level. What evidence did you bring to the table to get a grade increase?

Yea. I try to become irreplaceable the first months to start asking for more at the 6 month mark. Then it depends. I don’t let a year pass without trying for an increase, over whatever is customary or automatic.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

I have been supervising and managing our team of 6 for months with no extra pay or bonuses. I was told yesterday that raises will be light this year. Yet today they spare nothing.
