Reviews are coming up. Is it usually better to “prep” your boss that you’ll be asking for a raise, or to set up a random meeting and just do it? Our reviews are done online so it’s a good way

To deter people from asking for raises.

Honestly I think it’s safe to assume that bosses realize everyone will ask for a raise. I don’t think it’ll come as a shock to them, but just make sure you make a strong case for what you’ve done to deserve a raise in your self review!

If you’re doing a great job, and your manager cannot give you specific feedback as to how you can improve, and they do not give you anything (whether financial or opportunity based)...leave.

Agree. We already know it’s coming. But your employer doesn’t allow a 1:1 to review together after the online reviews are sent?

Well that’s wack.

Best way to get a good raise is to move to another agency. Or get an offer (you’re ready to take) and play the counter-offer game, if you want to stay.

Beat them to the conversation and be prepared. Even if they come to you with a raise first, it may not be as much as you deserve. Being caught off guard and unprepared in this situation can cost ya.

Servus zusammen,

T1/T2 steigt man ja nach dem Master mit ca 80 ein, bin in ner T2 und bin inkl. Bonus bei ca 76k Entry (ca 83k nach 8 Monaten).

Das klingt für mich ja eigentlich ganz gut, wenn man hier allerdings auf Fishbowl unterwegs ist, liest man von den Amis schon ganz andere Summen wie 150k TC; Wie lässt sich das denn vergleichen? Deren Savings-Rate muss doch extrem hoch sein?

Davon abgesehen, wie strukturiert ihr eure Finanzen? Kann von den 3k netto ca 1/2 zur Seite legen..

It is often seen in tech roles that employees are able to do remote work. I wonder how engaged do these workers feel with the companies they work. Are these freelance? Full time? How do you get paid? The startup I work with provides perks and benefits to remote workers in addition to pretty convenient payment solutions (crypto, our e-Wallet, banks worldwide), and therefore I’d like to get to know your thoughts on this!
