I've been with this company for almost 18 months, should I ask for a raise now or wait six months for my next review?

Did you get a raise at your last review?

I will wait six months. Mostly likely you probably will be getting a raise

Nope - start now. Lay the ground work and document your progress/contributions.

You want to have conversations with your manager about this throughout the year, so when the PM cycle comes up they know what you want, how you’ve performed and what to push for.

Waiting until the PM cycle defers it another year in my opinion. I don’t know of any leadership team that all of a sudden decides to give you a raise and or promotions when it’s brought up at the 11th hour of performance review season - they’ve already allocated raises and promotions.

Always be pushing for a raise. Monthly performance reviews need to be done. If you do not consistently push for one, you’ll never get it.

Depends on how your last review went. If your manager is pleased with your work and you have market data that shows that people in your position with your amount of experience is on average getting paid more, then go for it. You will have a better outcome with data and an exact number.

Track your own progress. I have a personal tracker so when performance and compensation conversations come up, I can highlight my value, bring facts/stats, or dispute claims made in the interview with the receipts to prove what I’ve done.

All of this helps you build a business case for a raise. But I bring it up every time I can, and you need to start conversations on this before the performance and review cycle. But ALWAYS negotiate job offers and ALWAYS ask for a raise.

As an HR professional who started in sales, advocate for yourself always, be loud about it and track your own stats.
