No earlier than a year from your start date as an AAE. At a large agency there are cycles too (usually January and June) where the agency can consider you for a raise. That said, if you’re doing work that’s worthy of a raise you can bring it up to your manager ahead of the cycle to discuss expectations and what you can do to earn consideration for a raise or promotion.
Getting a raise and the argument behind it should be about the value you have and the work you’re doing - not your personal finances.
Definitely a year, and yes, definitely do not mention your personal financial situation. Also be prepared that, especially now, any non-promotion raises will likely be pretty low.
If I were you - and you’re confident enough in your performance - I would start the conversation now. Say “this is what I’m working towards.. how can I achieve this and what’s a reasonable timeframe”
You may not GET the raise until your year or reviews but it’s totally fair to open the conversation transparent. I wouldn’t focus on your need for money personally, rather highlight your achievements. But this is all fair to me thinking about before your year
Agree with this. I’d suggest starting the conversation knowing it may take a couple more months and you can get feedback from your manager on steps you can take to get a raise/promoted

The way around the “be there for a year” thing is to become indispensable to the person who makes the decision. It’s a politically difficult thing to do and it can be luck of the draw whether you have exposure to them, but it is possible
As a manager of teams I also echo the comment above that it’s not about your personal finances (which is absolute trash bc the opening salaries are predatory) but the value you bring. Your best move early is to agency hop or network internally aggressively
Ask for what you want when you feel you’ve earned it and can point to that success. I think it’s totally fair to bethinking about your finances as a reason for a raise- that’s why we all get paid, right? To live? Start the conversation now with your manager and ask what you can do to make that happen sooner.
I’m not saying your finances can’t be YOUR motivation, but “I’m poor” is not a business reason for an agency to give you more money. And honestly, yeah you can ask whenever you want, but OP hasn’t even been with their company a year.
Would be really interested to know the salary. I’ve been pretty disgusted at the salaries some of my team started on at other networks. (I know it’s awful in parts of pub too)
Have you talked to your managers about a promotion? I think it’s pretty rare to get a raise at a lower level that doesn’t come with a promotion. You should probably start talking to them about what you need to do to get promoted, assuming that you’re aiming to get a promo ~1 year mark.

Too early. Wait till after reviews. Most ppl didn’t get raises with covid.

Wait until you've been there a year.
Use that time to figure out when raises are usually given out, so you can start asking in the time frame leading up to then (eg, if they give them out in March start asking and making your case in january).
Keep a running list of every accomplishment you make, compliments and positive feedback you get, and examples when you've gone above and beyond.
Also find your company's job description for the level above you and start finding ways to do those things too, which you can then point to when asking for a promotion.
Last thing, and very important, when the time comes make sure to push (politely and professionally if course) for as big a raise as you can get, because once you get it you won't get another one for a long time.
