Just began my second trimester of pregnancy (will be my first). No one at my firm knows yet, and the annual review/raise conversation happens in a month. Assuming I can conceal it until then, should I negotiate for a raise prior to dropping the pregnancy news, or make it known beforehand?

No upvotes for playing the sympathy card in the negotiations then?

Men tend to be recipients of the “fatherhood bonus.” Women, on the other-hand, are penalized. I would not disclose until after negotiations. All this said, you know your supervisors best so go with your gut.

I want to ask for a 20%raise, knowing that the company is planning the year budget around now should I give my manager a heads up as to what I’m expecting before my salary review?

The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?
