I've been working as a full stack developer for two years and our company has expanded a lot including my department.
We have 3 new graduates joining our team which we had advertised as a salary of £30k +
I feel that the new graduates are earning more than me.

Over the last 6 months I have been going above and beyond my job role.

How can I raise my concerns to my manager?

Are they earning £30K per year or are they earning £30K above your current salary?

The new hires are being paid the relatively good for entry level.
You, however, you’re being paid way below what you deserve.

I’d suggest getting in touch with recruiters via LinkedIn or agencies, negotiating with them for the salary you consider appropriate so that you have a clear idea of your value on the current market. This process should take less than 3 weeks.

After you’ve got these metrics, have a frank discussion with your manager without making threats. If they don’t pay you what the market values you, leave! Yes, leave and go where they value you the most!

Good luck!

Are there specific projects you can point to that you played a key role in delivering? For my salary negotiations I take a two pronged approach:

1. List the projects I've worked on and what value they've added to the organization.

2. Use Glassdoor and other sites to get an idea of the market rate for my role.

You can take these two data points and have a serious conversation with your manager on why you think you should be paid higher.

New hires are ALWAYS paid higher because they are hired based on CURRENT market rates. You can pretty much calculate how far below you are based on the market rate when you were hired.

Ask HR for a compensation review. Provide 3-4 bullet points why you deserve a review (market rate, performance, etc). Take the data to your manager and negotiate the heck out of it.

I feel some way about this, and I'm wondering if I should bring this up with my manager? I'm grateful for the raise they gave me and the promotion last quarter, but I don't understand how someone at a lower level can be making more? I'm I being greedy?

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.

im 10 weeks into my contract as a PO at a large satelline/wireless provider (synonym: plate) and the company has offered to bring me on as an internal employee.

currently i am hourly contractor at a rate of $50/hr + 2k sign on

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus

problem here is that i work 48-52hrs/wk & get paid overtime, so taking this offer would actually be a paycut by about $250-300/wk

There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?
