I’ve been pulled back on the same long term engagement 3 times in the past 3 yrs.The partner wants me back again, but I hate that project so much. Can I make a case for a salary increase if I say yes?

No. Do your job or don’t.

I think you can. Your CC has to go bat for you though.

In all honesty, the salary increase will only temporarily make you feel better. You'll still hate it there.

You are either: 1 very good, so good that you are irreplaceable 2: good, and cheap. If you are 1, I would expect you to have trained a junior by now bc you are probably too expensive. Since no one is irreplaceable, my gut tells me you are a cheap relative to your peer group so he wants to keep you for margin. Nothing personal, just think from that perspective

I've never heard of negotiating a salary increase to work on a crummy project.

It depends. If the partner can make a sway on your pay, maybe. If the partner is junior, the project is not important, or the partner doesn’t have sway, no.

If the partner doesn’t have any of what D1 wrote above (seniority, impt case, sway), you should definitely push back

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
