I saw something talking about how if you want more pay, you better start working enough to justify extra pay. I wouldn’t say that I’m an overachiever. I work my 40 hours and do my very best during that time. However when I’m off the clock, I’m off the clock. Even though I’m not overachieving, I have gained experience over the years that I believe would warrant the higher pay.

Absolutely. I have colleagues who "work" their 40 hours, but never get much done and spend that time chatting and wasting time. When I'm at work, I'm working. When my colleagues complain about having to take work home, it takes everything I have to not remind them that they spent probably two full days just sitting around and talking instead of doing their job each week.

Do your peers stay late or come in early?… if your going to set boundaries, that’s fine… but don’t be surprised when your career and comp now have boundaries…

OP noted ‘even though I’m not overachieving, I have gained experience that I believe would warrant higher pay’

So you’re not exceeding expectations… it’s possible that with a slight adjustment to WLB, OP could be exceeding expectations…

Raises are based on performance among your peer group… it’s hard to justify an above average raise, when you’re simply doing enough work to keep your job… not excelling enough to warrant extra pay or promotions…

It not just a matter of time spent, it's the quality of work you do in the time. And if you want to make more and move up in the ranks, it's good to step up and take on some challenging projects. If you start demonstrating some leadership qualities like that you may move the needle.

Cool

That’s the grind mentality that puts people in an early grave.

Smarter not harder is the way.

Hi fishes,
I was wondering if I put down my resignation now. And in case after a few weeks I decide to stay back, can I withdraw my resignation?

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?

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
