Hi I currently working as an Underwriting Associate been in the this role for 6 months now. I am thinking ahead on my Career Path as an underwriter. When is the right time to pursue promotion. I love the team I’m on but it does not seem to any promotional opportunities anytime soon. I have goals to move up in the corporate ladder to a leadership position. Any advice such as any designation or if I should go into a Graduate program. I currently have a degree in Economics from Uconn. Aetna

I did this a few months ago. I get nervous in that kind of setting so I literally printed out a list of my accomplishments (along with a couple things that I wanted to continue to improve) and handed it out to my managers during a meeting I setup for us all. I got lots of praise for the boldness and got the raise (and promotion) a couple weeks later.
It was uncomfortable but 100% worth it! Go for it and let us know how it goes:)
Same but I actually prepared a deck. 🤣 It included comp salaries (I was severely underpaid) and my accomplishments and my history with the department (a series of promotions without raises 🙄) and presented it over lunch when I got my review. I was asking for a 40% raise and got almost all I asked for. Good luck!!
It’s not cocky to be honest. Be proud of yourself, you’re working hard!
Say something like, “I wanted to talk to you about getting a raise. Over the last year I’ve done X, Y, and Z, on [accounts/projects] and based on that I’d like a raise to reflect the work I’ve been doing for the agency. What do you think about [number]?”
I also don’t know if I should ask for a range in salary or a specific amount. I know what my peers make, so I have an accurate amount in mind.
Ask for an amount, negotiate from there assuming they don’t say no.
