“We’re still reviewing things, I’ll let you know soon" is the only response I've been getting the last three times I've brought up getting me a 6% raise. I've been loyal to this company (which I'm starting to realize has no value at all) for the last 8 years and I can't believe my ask seems so big that they need this long to 'review' it. I've literally been the backbone, been around since the start. Is this the problem of being with a startup or is it the same situation all around?

Talk less to this person at work and focus your energy on job hunt. Leave with a pay increase if you can. In this job market, everyone will try to nickel and dime you and you have to look after yourself if you’re looking for a raise.

I wouldn't say it's a startup thing. It's the same thing everywhere. BUt if I were you, I'd be pretty damn blunt in my next conversation and say 'hey, if it's not going to happen, I'd rather have it be told to me honestly because I'm planning things around this happening or not'

Do you have equity?

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
