Kicking myself for not negotiating a higher salary range during my last promotion. Anyone else think of what they could have done differently during their last promo cycle?

My company is sneaky in that employees' raises are already committed to payroll a week before the actual performance review meeting. The company then has the leverage to say "Is it worth bothering our CFO for 1-2K more?" That being said, make your salary range clear to your manager at the beginning of your review period so it's not being negotiated on the day-of.

^ That. That exactly. That is the mistake I made.

Umm - I have never heard of this. You mean salary after a promotion is negotiable? When do you get to negotiate? My last promo, I was simply told "hey congrats, here is your new title and salary." Props to Fishbowl for letting g me find out that perhaps at some time, I could have said "Gimme more." Thank you, folks.

Any struggling paralegals here? Do you feel like your financial situation is affecting your productivity at work? I like the work I do but the pay really sucks.

The HR is telling that the basic is fixed as per policy and they cannot change it. The base pay is less but there are several other components which are higher. Should I take up the new offer?

I am looking into the CCP (Certified Compensation Professional). It seems to be quite an expensive exam.

If anyone else is studying, let me know and maybe we can share study materials!

For those who have taken it, are there any cheaper or alternative study materials to any official guides you would recommend? I went this route with the PHR and SHRM-SCP and passed each on the both try, so I wanted to see if that method may be viable here. Any recommended order to take courses in?
