When do you typically start getting raises? Today marks ONE FULL year of being a working citizen of the country :D. Is it after the first year, every year, or every other year? I work remotely and I've just never had anyone talk to me about this stuff. Also never had an industry job before this one so excuse me if this question sounds silly but who do you approach when you want to negotiate a raise?

A year's about the right time to start wondering if you could be qualified for a raise. Typically, you can expect to discuss raises during your annual performance review, which often happens after your first full year of employment. Most companies give raises annually, with an average increase of 3%, and
some companies even offer raises more frequently, like semi-annually, but that's not very common.

And also, your direct supervisor or manager is usually the best person to approach about a raise. Or if your company has a Human Resources department, which I'm pretty sure it should, they can also provide guidance on this! Good luck :)

Most companies have a fixed review cycle, and most raises and promotions occur as part of that cycle.

Raises are typically a factor of...

- Company policy - Some companies give a base annual raise to everyone who qualifies (e.g. has been there more than a year and meets minimum performance requirements).

- Personal Performance - If you are doing particularly well you can (and should) expect a higher increase, which may also be tied to a promotion. If you aren't doing well, you many not get a raise at all.

- Company Performance - How the company as a whole is doing also plays into the amount. Companies doing poorly may suspend all raises. Companies doing well may give everyone larger raises or bonuses to reflect the better company performance.

You get raises?

I got a raise this year out of cycle. If you are doing well and you have a good boss and performance it can happen anytime. I got raises in cycle after the new year. It’s going to depend on company policy and culture.

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company).

Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
