Would it be reasonable to ask my boss for a 25% raise when I have doubled my workload in the past 8 months with no extra help? We went from 4 analysts to 2 last summer, and there was a LOT of account cleanup, too. My pay is barely on the spectrum of what analysts get paid according to sites like these, but that 25% will be about a $5ish/hr raise. At the same time, any kind of accounting positions are slim to none in my area, so looking for a higher paying job at this point is iffy.

I think that’s more than fair, especially if your workload has doubled. You can always see what else is out there if they deny the raise. I’d be prepared to show why you deserve it and highlight all the extra responsibilities you’ve taken on.

I literally just did this in December and got my 25%. Worst that can happen is they say no.

I'd say you deserve a raise, though asking for 25% would be quite a bump. You might as well try it, however, as it sounds like you've been grievously underpaid. Make a strong case for yourself and emphasize how you've picked up the extra work and you've been a highly productive contributor.

Youll get around 8-10% best case. Companies dont care anymore

Ask for 50% and hope for 25%.

So is it just us on this bowl. Totally fine if it is. This evening we had a rose. It’s from sojourn, one of my favorite boutique wineries. They had a promotion where a case was 30% off so I had to do it. After discount but plus tax was $26 a bottle which is expensive for a rose in general but for a Rose of Pinot noir was a good price. Paired it with Dover sole dusted in flour and fried in butter. Made a reduction with the rose, capers and lemon juice end up bit salty but was ok since we had wine

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
