I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?
Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Just because someone is retiring doesn’t mean you’re due for a raise. What additional value are you offering? Are you taking on more responsibilities? Are you delivering better outcomes?
Good points. Yes, we’re a newer team and they’ve been assigning us more and different work. I’ve been learning and creating new processes and taking online classes to learn programs and better my transferrable skills. Its helped us keep some processing on team rather than reach out to other tech teams for info. Do you think that warrants a raise? Serious question. I just need more money. Haha

Your raise would be reflective of your performance and value to the company and has nothing to do with a coworker leaving. If you feel you deserve a raise and have the data to support, then have the conversation with your manager, and at no point should the coworker that is leaving enter the conversation.
Makes sense. It would actually be a higher level for me. But we shall see!
Set time up with the retiring co-worker’s boss. Ask them if they plan to backfill the role, express that you’re interested in it, and ask them what goals you need meet in order to be considered for the position.
Some companies will postpone backfilling a role if they can get an internal candidate there, then hire someone more junior to replace you. That might mean you still need to spend 6 months working up to it (and you might take on more work during that time) but it’s one way companies can promote from within. It’s worth the conversation.
I meant retiring. Not returning. Hehe
