I was hired with the agreement of earning $98,000 for the first six months, with the promise of getting a 12% salary increase once my trial period ended at that six month mark. I have this deal in writing. Well, I hit that six month mark last week and was only given a 5% raise. I was told it was a budgeting issue. What can I do? I have a contract, should I push for the full raise?

Sucker born everyday.

Read the fine print. It was likely an ‘up to 12%’

Take it as a lesson

But they won’t budge

Hi fish,

Kindly consider this as most confused situation of my life and reply.

Does a non-tech PMO candidate can also achieve 30-50 LPA in just 5-6 years of experience as you technical people are achieving.

Please also suggest, should I continue in this PMO and go for PMP, Prince2 then try or just learn some technical things and then can only expect this much package?
