If you ask HR what your salary band is for your position are they obligated to tell you? I know this may be a dumb/novice question but being that it’s review cycle season, I want to make sure I’m asking the right questions

I think it’s a very smart question actually. I’m sure some HR would avoid an answer, but I don’t see why it should be a mystery. A little more truth and openness could do a lot for the world.

Only in specific states.

In most cases, it’s a cat and mouse game. The person who gives their “number” first loses.

How do you go to that next step?

99.9% of companies will do every single thing they can in their power to pay you the least amount of money possible. Once you realize that you come to terms at the fact that the best way to get a raise is to get a new job. The second best way to do a great work and become valuable. Unfortunately, negotiating “based off of what you deserve” doesn’t really work.

I recently came to my CD about seven months ago and asked for a raise. I showed the salary numbers of what other people in my position make. It didn’t make a bit of difference and they denied me. They know the market sucks and they won’t pay you anymore until you have all their options. It’s been almost 2 years since my last raise and I’m looking for a new job. Wish me luck.

I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
