Didn’t want to derail the other job threads and can’t find anything on this.
I took my current job to escape my previous one. My circumstances were different and I didn’t negotiate salary as it was fair for my skills at the time and I really needed to leave a toxic workplace. Due to a staff departure and increased responsibilities/skills and projects underway, my salary is about 30% less than average.
I have an annual review coming up, how can I approach this? The company is benchmarking pay across the org but my role is technical and they don’t understand it so class it as admin (there are even admin roles that pay more - jobs I’ve done for less in the past). I don’t want to leave it down to them.
I really don’t want to leave but can’t afford to stay. I’ve filled out my review form highlighting my achievements and done an analysis on salaries for my job. I know not to make the convo personal (e.g. I’m poor, plz pay me more!). Anyone got any other tips? My boss lowballs contractors so I don’t think he’ll be open to the idea, but what I’ve demonstrated is fair.
