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.
I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?

I think around 22 or 25 an hour
A yearly raise of 4-10% over 3 years would land you around $20.25-$23.95. That being said, the new industry standard is onwards and upwards every 36-48 months, meaning.... it's really time to either move up in the company or move onwards to the next. It's 2025, and people can't live forever off of a salary of $52k/year, never mind $37.5
Your attendance may be good and your cross trained in a number of areas my question to you is - what are your results?
Agreeing with HRM1. When negotiating, you need as much factual data as possible and leverage as possible. Factor in what an average raise/year and employee should expect, COL adjustment for housing and inflation, average salary in a similar role across the region. Is this in a higher COL city for this region, ect. Outside of that, what you need to focus on to gain more money is the onwards or upwards mindset. Ask what you need to accomplish to get promoted. Point out that you feel stagnant and underutilized, you feel you could be more useful to the employer. Also, have you done any 1:1s with upper management about career growth? If not, push forward in getting career coaching. Good management isn't just about managing people under you but about finding who is willing to climb and if they are motivated enough to spend time coaching.
Please come with numbers like JLL1 below provided. A lot of people fail to give any reason why they want more money. Everyone wants more money. The CEO wants more money. The board members want more money. When you explain why, and tie it to your motivation to continue to advance it defeats the immediate defensive reaction to "I need more money" or it's inverse "You're cheap and you don't pay enough".
10-4.
Thanks everyone looks like i got homework to do.
Ask your coworkers what’s the typical raise for someone who’s been there for 3 years
