I never really understand how to ask for a raise. I usually just accept any raise I get big or small. If you didn’t like your raise, how do you go about asking for a better raise? Do you say it right there during reviews?

You bring it up way before your review, like 3-6 months before, and go armed with a few things to make “making the case” easy for your manager, like a collection of positive feedback you’ve gotten from whom and on which projects

Thanks! This helps

You don’t. You start looking for a new job. It’s the best way to get a significant increase. Most companies won’t give you yearly raises beyond 2-5%.

Only way to get a significant raise, never received more than $1-2 (the 2 came with a role change) last 3 times I have changed employers has resulted in $5/hr pay increase, the last employer change came with a performance bonus and resulted in my annual pay being almost double that of the previous employer.

is anyone familiar with pay differentials, negotiating for a temporary raise or some other form of compensation for extra work? 3 coworkers on my team have recently resigned, and certain shifts are being expected to work at half staff until new hires can be brought on. if my workload is being doubled, i expect to be compensated, as they are paying one employee to do the work of two. any suggestions or wording on how to address this?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
