I’ve been working at my current place of employment for 10 years now. My pay is 18.50 and I started at 15. I’m a second cook looking to move up the ladder a bit and know how to do basically everything. I want to ask for 20$ an hour but people tell me I should ask for more. Need advice from others on how much I should ask for.

I’ve been told, ask for a little more than what you want. That way, if they negotiate and go lower, it’ll be close to what you want. But pay depends on your location too. Search how much your position averages with your years of experience.

Come to the negotiations with market data. Do a little research on Glassdoor or other salary bench sites and see if you can find your role and applicable salaries. This way when you negotiate you have market data to back your request. This will also give you insight in what is expected within that role and salary range. Always ask for that bit more (also check what benefits they give) to negotiate.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
