I got a random $6k/yr raise today.

Hey guys, My boss called me today and said Compensation and Benefits emailed him about my salary. Basically put, I got a $6k raise a year. I made $104k previously. My boss said it was “preventive retainment” and I was “on the low end for my position”. I get the offer letter next week. It felt good to be appreciated, but… I am thinking that maybe I should counter for more? Like maybe I am still in the low end? Would that be weird? I was told this does not disqualify me from the merit raise either which will be next year and it will not disqualify me from my bonus. I am really good at what I do (says probably everyone at their job) but I am routinely called in for projects that need that extra pow. It just seemed odd that I get this raise out of nowhere.…


Hey guys,

My boss called me today and said Compensation and Benefits emailed him about my salary. Basically put, I got a $6k raise a year. I made $104k previously. My boss said it was “preventive retainment” and I was “on the low end for my position”.

I get the offer letter next week.

It felt good to be appreciated, but… I am thinking that maybe I should counter for more? Like maybe I am still in the low end? Would that be weird?

I was told this does not disqualify me from the merit raise either which will be next year and it will not disqualify me from my bonus.

I am really good at what I do (says probably everyone at their job) but I am routinely called in for projects that need that extra pow.

It just seemed odd that I get this raise out of nowhere. Anything I should be cognizant of?
