I have been working at the same company which is a taxable non-profit for about 12 years. We are a small team of 5. I have been able to grow our revenue from 900k to 2.8m. My total comp has only gone from 60k to 150k. I live in an affordable region so my money goes a long way. But with a wife and 3 kids I need to make more money. I love my job. I get to travel and participate in a lot of great experiences. So that to me is worth something.

Where do I start with asking for more $$?

You're good, dont ask for more money, then they will think you're not happy, and this is where the trouble begins. You're making $12,000 a month before taxes so dont live beyond your means dont hand your children everything thinking they will appreciate it. Tell them to get a job unless they're under 13 years old and save your money and invest a small percentage of your money wisely and tell your wife and kids the same

thank you

How much of an increase would you be content with? Have you had salary conversations in the past or just received raises and increases as they are provided? I would do some research to see if you are in the range for similar roles and responsibilities, especially in your geographic area, and if you believe you have a case for an increase request to add as an agenda item at next performance review. Be prepared, don’t allow emotions to take control. Good luck!

You’re not far off from growth relative to revenue increase. The question to ask yourself is what losing you will cost the company to replace. If that 2.8M is sticky to the company and not you then losing you might not be the drastic impact you expect. On the other hand, if you have a pipeline of growth for additional revenue impact, that gives you some legs to stand on for a request to increase.

WLB is next to zero as 60hr weeks are the minimum as of late. Management feels like they are trying to push a few of us out. Was told not to expect much come year end for comp. Any suggestions on finding a new role/pay expectations?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
