I initially asked for 135k at my startup. They offered 115k and we ended at 125k. Within two weeks my manager left and everything shifted to me. I received praise for the work I did and to this day I still own all those responsibilities and some. We hired a backfill who has now decided to leave for cultural reasons, similar to my manager. I have been wanting to quit for sometime but wondering if this is a good opportunity to push for 20k more and leave in 4 months instead of next week.

I’ve here for 12 months.

Can u explain ur day to day responsibilities so that I could better field my response?

IMO you should’ve negotiated something when the manager left. Even more so now.

But yes more context would be helpful.

Why would the startup let you wait for 4 more months?

Also, you’re not as essential as you seem to think you are.

Definitely bring up your raise for discussion. Sounds like a legit expectation.

Maybe ask about being promoted to what your manager‘a title was since you’re doing the work? Then presumably a raise comes with the promotion and you having been promoted will be a positive signal to potential future employers.

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm.
