I've got an annual review approaching and going to use the time to ask for a pay review, and hopefully an increase. How do I best bring this up with my manager?

Make the case based on your contributions, not market rates for your role. And whenever possible, back everything up with data. You need to make it as easy as you can for them to see the value in the work you do every day. Fingers crossed it goes well!

I would suggest being prepared with your accomplishments and why you deserve a raise. You have to be able to confidently articulate why you deserve a raise. An annual review is great time to ask for a raise.

Feeling a lot of pressure to buy an apt as my partner and I are in mid 30s and see ourselves living here (Brooklyn) long term.

Every apt for sale we are seeing is less nice and highly monthly cost than our rental unit which we love and running the numbers never looks good. Convince me why I’m wrong

It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
