Just got a promotion on the corporate side of a staffing agency and was lowballed on my initial offer for a very in-demand role as data analyst. They were taking advantage of my inexperience, however, I’ve already been working the role for the past month and have full access to the reports/systems that are available within their database
I used my new found skills to scrape their database and pull together a list of hundreds of comparable roles, all with listed pay rates. Turns out the average pay for that role was 25% higher than my offer.
Using their own data against them, I was able to secure my raise with confidence. What kind of data analyst would I be if I didn’t do this?
