Realistic to ask for a higher salary during assessment season? Probably’ll get the regular increase but wondering if asking for more would be worth it? Paid fine but would love more

I don't think there is ever a good time to ask for a raise in this economy. I would go for it if you feel like you aren't being paid what you should. It never hurts to ask, especially if you can back up why they should give you a raise.

The worst they can say is no, but unless your skills are extremely in-demand, there is no reason for them to say yes. I would be prepared to make your case and give it a try, just don't hold your breath.

The way to do this is a year in advance. During your review ask what you can do to become a more valuable. Be honest that you want to grow your career, and let them know you’re willing to be patient. At six month mark check in and get feedback on your progress. 3 months before review is often when raises are determined, and formal feedback is then layered in. If you’ve really added value, that’s the time to remind people.

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Hello Everyone,

I have been working with Kantar (a market research company) for 10 months now. The company has given me permanent work from home. Work is quite good and I am able to learn many things here. Also, my manager is very supportive and patient.
The only thing is about compensation, I have a package of 14 lpa with 6 YOE.
I'm thinking of switching to some company based in Pune.
What should I do?
