My title is a Project Engineer which, in my field, is a couple steps below a Project Manager. I have been drafting for almost 10 years, I have a PM certification, and I have 2 years of experience. I tend to pick up on anything construction fairly quickly but I am unsure what to ask for a salary in my coming review. (I had a career change two years ago when I was told I topped out at my last employer.) I fear I am paid less because I am a woman. I am the only female in my department. Salary??

I would suggest looking on Glassdoor, see what other companies in your area pay at similar levels, see what it states your own company pays. I would request at least a 5% raise potentially more depending on what you find in regards to how others are paid. I know it is frowned upon but if you feel comfortable speaking with others in similar role as you at your company or another what they make I suggest doing it. It helps to understand where you stand. I am a woman as well and had this conversation with a male counterpart once and was nice to learn I was making slight more than him.

I tried to have this discussion with a male counterpart and unfortunately he refused to partake. I would have loved to know, and share mine as well! I don’t know why this question threatens so many people.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
