I have worked in an entry level position for the past 2 years. Salary currently $35,000.
For the past 9 months I have been being “groomed” to take start a new position. I have been learning the necessary skills, programs, etc to do the job. I am set to be fully into this new role by the end of May.
I finally received my pay offer today from my boss, and it is substansially lower than what I expected. They offered me $42k. The job requires substantially more work, time, and travel than my current position...this really is not an attractive offer to me at all. Additionally, I found out I will be paid less than every other person in this role currently because I lack experience (there are 6 others in the company with this role).
Come May, I need to either accept this new position or leave the company as a replacement for my current position has already been found.
I think I’m in a decent position to ask for more money, but I was told that because the position had to be created (I’m not replacing a vacancy, they made this new position for me specifically due to the business growing) that the offer I received would be the max they could offer. It seems to me that I am in a decent position to negotiate higher pay since they’ve gone through the trouble to train me for nearly a year, but what do y’all think?
