Hey all,
So I'm soon to be having a huge discussion with the big boss regarding me taking on multiple extra responsibilities, and in the 'pre-meeting' it was more or less confirmed that this would be coming with a pay rise, details to be worked out once we have the proper discussion.
I'm planning to ask for quite a significant increase, due to a few factors:
- I've been at the company for over five years without any pay rise, not even for inflation. This partly due to my being a remote worker for over half this time, making pay discussions more awkward.
- I'm doing a lot more work than I was when I started, my role is of vital importance, and I'm doing the vast majority of the work (about 80-90%) due to our small team having other responsibilities.
- My pay right now is still very low, pretty much entry level.
- I'm taking on quite a few new responsibilities, due to my greatly-expanded skillset that is only now being utilised.
With all of these being the case, is it justified to ask for a significant increase; in the area of 40-50%? I sincerely believe I can be of that much value to the company with my new and currently unused skills, but I'm wondering if such a huge jump is something people consider.
