I’ve had roles where I was able to deliver a meaningful win within my first few months, and it made me wonder whether that created an opening to revisit compensation sooner than expected. Has anyone led with an early win to support a salary adjustment?

If you came in wanting to negotiate more and the company was on the fence, an early, visible win can sometimes create an opening to revisit the conversation. Even if you’re still relatively new. That said, companies aren’t always eager to reopen compensation discussions early on, so timing and framing matter.

very good point. thank you!

That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure it's a great strategy. If you delivered a big win the best way to make a good impression is to act like you do that all the time. And go out and do it again. If you rack up a steady string of wins it'll be clear that you're a real one and it wasn't a case of beginner's luck.

This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
