It’s almost review and raise time. It’s always 3%. Any tips on getting more. I think it’s crazy that someone with average and decent numbers who does the bare minimum gets 3% and I, who goes above and beyond, trains new hires and helps be a mentor to an under 2 year colleague gets 3%. Any tips would be appreciated.

Are you sure you have visibly demonstrated to your management that your work has improved in a way that justifies giving you more?

If you go by the numbers, there is no doubt. If you go by emails about trainings, certain asks or whatever and the boss bragging on me for always being the first to get stuff done and volunteer than yes. The problem is they always tell us 3% is max. And they give almost everyone 3%.

You could get none like our whole company is.b

Know your value, highlight it. Research market value pay for your position/similar positions with other companies. Outline specific points that show what you provide currently and how that translates to benefits to the company in the future. Be CONFIDENT but respectful. And, honestly, pick the right time. If the company is not doing well (or as well as desired), then it might not be the best time to ask for more.

If that is the case, have a serious conversation about what you can do to provide more to earn a promotion or potential higher raise in the future.

If all else fails and negotiations go terrible and you feel like you are not valued, then be flexible.​ There are PLENTY of companies out there that will value your contributions, be open to strengthening your resume and keep yourself available for new opportunities.

Worked for a company for 25 years and wish I got any raise. 3% per year would have been phenomenal, especially with my consistent above target assessments by director. Besides my team selling more to earn additional commission and maximizing any realistic incentives no raise. Base never raised, they actually reduced base a few times when company aquired new brands. Ultimately severed during 5th or 6th restructure after helping them become a conglomerate.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
