I'm at PT employee but my company definitely needs FT work. How do I protect my time if they don't want to pay me for the more work they need? Or how do I make the case to convert me to FT if that's really what they need? Feeling taken advantage of.

You just have to enforce some boundaries and don't accept or perform any work you're not being paid for. If they need more work done and it doesn't fit into your PT schedule, that's a good opportunity to have a discussion with them. Tell them they need the work done, you'd be happy to do it, but you'd have to go FT.

I'm in this same spot right now. The company has a ton of work that it needs to get done, but they only have a $4k/month budget. I told them that I can only allocate 50 hours per month to this work and asked them to provide a priority list so I know where to focus my attention. I'd recommend doing the same thing. Tell them how many hours you have available based on their budget, and make it clear to them which projects and initiatives they'll have to sacrifice to stick to it. If they really want the work to get done, they'll be willing to pay extra for it.

I have been there, trust! What I did was I set up a meeting to offer them value with an asking price. They ended up just hiring me full-time and we did negotiate.

I agree with setting up a meeting with management and provide detailed info on what you can add to your plate. Let them know what they need and exactly why they'll benefit from it. Make it hard to refuse!

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
