I think I’m pretty underpaid so thinking of asking for a ~20% raise at my annual review. Currently at a boutique firm making 90k base and 5%bonus, 5 YEO (3 industry, 1 as software consultant, 1 in my current role as a senior consultant), Top ranked specialty MS degree, MCOL city. Is this a reasonable request? Going to bring in some “market research” aka Glassdoor screenshots. Any other advice?

I should add this is assuming the performance review goes well.

Shoot you might want to just jump ship. Market actually isn't terrible right now.

90k for 5yoe and MS is severely low even for MCOL city.

I think the 20% raise makes sense but you should also look elsewhere

Try 90k for HCOL city for 5 yeo and a MS degree

I think this is a good idea apart from your “market research” hahaha. Maybe start looking, and allude to, getting a better offer with a similar firm

So, a recruiter sent me a HackerRank assessment and I went to complete it and it was so easy? Is this a red flag or a shit test or something?

Then it was the word: “Snore”, which corresponded to “36425”. and then I had to figure out the number that corresponded to: “Rogue”. It just seemed too easy, why even have it besides creating another barrier to a possible offer? Should I tread carefully here?
