Is negotiating a raise after being in the role harder than pushing for a higher starting salary? I figured, once you’re in, it feels more personal and might be more difficult. Which do you think is tougher?

I've always been told, and I've come to believe, that your best shot to negotiate is when you're being hired. It's just very obvious common sense, whatever salary you get initially sets the tone. If you come in the door at a low salary, it's unlikely you'll be able to catch up and make decent money.

Those are great points. Higher starting pay puts you at a better advantage.

You're right. You have far more leverage before you're hired than you do after. That's why it's so important to push hard before signing an offer. Once you do, the company has all the negotiating power.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
