Should I ask for a raise even though I’m actively looking for other opportunities/trying to leave? My reasoning is I’ll have more negotiating power when I get other offer

Absolutely.
They gave you a raise, they still don’t value you as the market does. Their loss. As long as you take care of the hygiene factors - give notice, not steal confidential information and not go awol with a middle finger in someone’s face, you can boomerang any time. If that’s what is worrying.

Unlikely that a raise will be processed anywhere near as quickly as the hiring elsewhere.

You shouldn’t need negotiating power. I’m pretty sure employers can’t ask you how much money you’re making now. Instead of justifying that you need X% raise to make a move and your current base is $X, just explain you need $X base to make a move.

I would say I’m happy to give you the details when we get to that point. Bottom line is I am not satisfied with that level of pay and I am expecting XYZ. Make it clear that there should be no decision making happening at their end based on what you are getting now.

You should definitely still negotiate, but you could always just lie about your current salary like half the consulting field does anyway. I really see no downside to doing so, if you really think you owe total and complete honesty to a potential employer, ask yourself why they don’t think they owe it to you.

Would you still have negotiating power if your employer denies your raise request?

As Long as you’ve got the evidence to back up your performance, go for it!

Like a lot of others, I’m underpaid. I’ve been with my company for 3 years having worked various roles and have been working as a researcher for a couple years now.

Our org is restructuring and part of that is salaries are being reviewed and adjusted.

What are the chances I get the adjustment I deserve? They will need to bump me up 35%. Am I being foolish or do I need to look elsewhere?
