    Same as I got: 3%. Woo. Lucky us.

    Here's what I did to get a raise and a promotion: asked for more stuff to do beyond what you're expected to do normally. Ask you boss to help out with stuff he/she are doing and it can only lead one of two ways: sleeping with them or a promotion.

    If you are a good worker and have a lot of job duties to

    justify a raise ask for it. The worst that can happen is the word no. You need to give him a reason why you deserve more.

    because you're not to any extent further married and residing interior the domicile your boyfriend owns, in basic terms ensure that you do arise with the money for stashed away for a moist day, did you comprehend what I recommend? do no longer make this guy any such good fixture on your existence that you need to locate it perplexing or couldn't bypass on with out him. So both of you've been mutually for 3 years, yet have at the moment talked about marriage/childrens interior the ultimate twelve months. i imagine it truly is the quantity one difficulty fairly some women individuals make those days. Your emotions on childrens, marriage, destiny, etc. want to be pronounced earlier you get heavily in contact with someone. waiting years down the line can instruct to be a large mistake in basic terms because it truly is been on your case. i imagine your boyfiend should be with you, yet at 30 years of age he's likely no longer waiting to be tied down by ability of marriage and childrens yet. i do not imagine you need to sacrifice the belongings you want in basic terms to be with him. ask your self, in case you wait 3 years down the line, what if he nevertheless doesn't want little ones? Or what once you've issues getting pregnant then? do not supply him any ultimatums yet stay authentic to your self. Firmly state what you want and want out of your courting. If he loves you adequate, he will detect a compromise particularly than lose you.

    If you are this close to your review and raise date, you're too late to really bump that number much. Try to spend the next year working "outside" of your job description, so that you can justify a larger increase. In todays' workforce, a 3% increase is pretty common.

    3% - 5% is normal. To make more money you need to take on more responsibility. Maybe ask your boss if there is anything else you could be doing, or look for a promotion opportunity.

    You need a reason for them to give you a raise.

    What's the comparable salary you could be earning elsewhere?
