I need some advice. I'm an admin assistant but I've taken on so much more responsibility in the realm of HR and recruiting. I love it but also feel underpaid and underappreciated. I'm thinking of asking for a raise and a title change to reflect my new role, but I'm nervous. Any tips for making a strong case in my upcoming 6-month review?

Go in with confidence. It would help if you could reference specific responsibilities you have that you know are part of a higher paygrade. Ex. if you have a colleague who does those things and is identified in a higher role. That said, if you've only been there for six months you may not have as much of a chance as if you wait a little longer. Good luck though, if you're certain of yourself then I'm sure you'll have luck.

I would definitely try to quantify and speak specifically to your contributions to the company. How many employees have you brought in? How much HR work are you doing and how is it contributing to the company as a whole? I think you just need to be prepared to make a persuasive case based on your performance and not just on your increased workload

I would write down any praise you get for your job, any extra projects you have taken on, anything you do really well, etc. Take that to them and present your case of why you deserve a raise. I would go in confidently because you do deserve a raise.

Take a look at the job description for your current role and make note of the things outside of that that you are doing.

All of the above. Wishing you the best. Keep us posted.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
