Questioning your salary compared to others. Is it ever okay to question your salary compared to others? As context my current firm@hired@a group of about ten folks from another cpa firm. Everyone except me got a title bump even though I’m the only cpa and the only one competent in alteryx and other rpa tools. I feel underpaid for my skill set compared to the others

Yes, ask for a raise. But be prepared to leave though

Chances are you are being underpaid and undervalued. You have to fight for yourself. Get better offers and negotiate or leave.

You quite possibly could have a better skill set, but they quite possibly could be better at negotiating. Did you push for a title bump and higher salary when you were switching?

Companies are just going to hand out money if you are happy with what you got. You need to fight for yourself

Do you research, note down your contributions and get some time on the calendar with you RL. I don’t necessarily think you need to prepare to leave at least until you have that conversation about your market value. Make sure you have this conversation sooner than later. Once CRTs take place, it’s too late to make your case. This worked for me. Although, it’s time to reassess again with all the changes over the last year!

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!
