I've seen people say that if you're underpaid, you can't just outline your contributions because your manager needs a compelling reason for finance to bump your salary and they need to prove you're underpaid. So how do I present my case that I'm being underpaid other than "my friends make this amount in their role" or "Glassdoor says this" when finance can find rebuttals for these arguments?

You can also respond to recruiters reaching out to you and ask for salary range. Some will tell you in writing, which you can show your manager. I reply to basically all recruiters who reach out to me just so I can always be collecting this data.

I’ve only had success with this when I focus less on what others have and more on what I bring to the table. It’s not a good look to be like “I deserve this bc they have it”. Alternately, you can bring in an offer for more but you have to be willing to walk if they can’t meet you.

you can let them know that you are concerned you’re not being compensated for your role in line with the market. Your HR team should be able to provide a market comp assessment for your role. assuming you’re underpaid, your manager should pick up that you’re a flight risk and then has to determine if they want to fight to keep you and market adjust your comp or be ok with losing you and paying that much for your replacement. i will just say, i’m seeing lots of people who left a role they were happy in solely for more money, turn around 6-12 months later and say it was a mistake. some places are paying huge premiums right now because they’re desperate to fill seats, but those aren’t necessarily balanced and happy seats you’re jumping into.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
