I asked for a salary adjustment after taking on responsibilities that clearly weren’t in my original role, and I was surprised they didn’t push back at all. Framing it as role evolution instead of a “raise request” seemed to change the conversation. Curious if that approach has worked for others too.

Smart approach! Leading with how the role has changed probably helps ease them into the salary adjustment.

This is the way to do it. It reminds them that they aren't giving you an increase "just because", but rather that your market value has increased and if they want to keep you around, your pay needs to reflect that. Congrats on the raise!

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
