I’m a young professional and have been working with a due diligence firm for close to 2 years now and learned from friends in the industry that I’m not making what I should be even though I was promoted earlier this year. I asked my boss for a raise in salary outside of the review period which was denied because of “fairness” which I find is bs but not entirely sure?

(In my opinion) Get an offer from someplace else you’d like to work better. Give formal notice in writing. Wait for a counter offer to reveal what you should be making.
(In my opinion) Never accept a counter offer as it puts you in a highlighted space and the clock starts ticking so make sure you’re ready to leave before doing anything to start this process.
Make them revise the counter a few times to show your true worth and hone those negotiating nerves. Two or three things will happen here at least.

1. You’ll better yourself with confidence.
2. You’ll get to know the inner savage that looks out for you better.
3. Your comfort zone will become wider and stronger.

If the past few years have taught us anything, it for sure has beaten into our dna that nobody looks out for you and yours better than yourself. It’s only business. Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Hey yo pro I think you should start looking. You make more money job hopping than staying with the same company even if you are moving internally

The company I work for only provide merit raises during annual reviews. The only way for me to receive a raise outside that period is to be promoted to another role through the interview process. It’s always frustrating. I make well below what my peers make too. I was told my starting salary was my issue as I receive excellent raises every year so performance is not the issue. I was told to leave the company and come back in a year or two if I want to be on the same level as peers. I’m sure this is due to “fairness” as well. If you like the work and the company, keep doing a good job and stay positive!

I would live if the salary is below expectation. Try to find another position, 2 years is a good period for a change, as it will take several months to find the new one 👍🏻

I went through two rounds of interviews for

should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the

Does it matter when I ask for a raise? My company process is that my manager completes a performance review, then I review what he wrote and after I sign off on it, that’s when raises happen. Last year, they gave a 1% raise and didn’t even tell me about it, so I’m wondering, should I wait and see what they give this year and then negotiate or ask for it before I sign off on my review?
