Been at my job since April, and there’s been such high turnover that I’m now one of the more experienced people in my position and dept. I also know that my company recently hired peers in a different department for significantly higher than what I make. I would have needed a 15-18% raise to match.
I’ve already had prior frustrations with my employer regarding promised work/life balance not being delivered. In addition to handling my responsibilities I’ve been taking on work that’s above my title. My industry is booming and I don’t anticipate finding a new job to be difficult.
All that said, if I stick around for at least another year I would hope they would give me a better title. It seems like they’re blaming the lack of movement on my having been here less than one year. Also, I have a young child and a time-consuming house, so I certainly have enough on my plate.
WWYD?
Edit: the alternative to asking for a raise is to just find a new job. I realized I never explicitly said that.
