Why is discussing a pay rise such a challenge? I can chat about various aspects of my job, yet the topic of money feels uncomfortable. It’s directly linked to my daily life and financial comfort. Has anyone ever faced negative consequences, like losing their job, after requesting a promotion or a salary increase?

I think talking about money in general is uncormfortable because that is how society has made it. They tell us not to be open and share our salaries so then conversations about money become awkward. It shouldn't be that way but it is.

I've never heard of someone losing their job after a salary negotiation/raise conversation. They're super commonplace and normally there are not negative consequences, even if they can't meet your request.

It's partly that most of us consider money to be our own private business. And companies just naturally make it awkward to talk about it. Anyway, the key to getting a raise isn't to talk about the money, but to talk about yourself and how much you've improved in your job. And then bring up how your compensation should match your performance.

Think it’s the culture you grow up in. Some folks are not shy about bringing up pay and compensation at all! While others shy away from the topic.

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
