I’m making 20-40% under YOE peers at other firms, incl those w/ same focus (Energy/Indust). This month is my 1st opp for annual salary negotiation & my metrics are strong. Any tips on how to initiate/sell a raise to get close(r) to a 20% boost? Or should I run for the door now that this comp gulf is obvious?

Run. 20+% raise normally requires promotion or new job.

You can make a case for “salary right sizing” and I’ve successfully done it for two of my counselees. I had them pull competitive salaries for their same level at other firms (use Glassdoor, Indeed, RocketBlocks) while I also pulled internal metrics on their peer’s “loaded cost rate” to calculate percentage discrepancies. Right-sizing was successful at about a 10% bump. However for myself I’ve had a string of awful career counselors and will be leaving shortly to go to another opportunity for a 50%+ total comp increase.

Also should I charge hourly/weekly or monthly?
