I was reading on another tread that someone had a raise of an 8% and he said it was not bad...
What is a good raise % for you? i actually see 8% a way too low...
And also how many years or amount of time you would wait until you ask for a raise?
For example ill put my case starting for the job im working right now.
i have been working there for almost 3 years... its a really nice small bussiness as we are just like 4 Engineers but Elite Engineers with Banks, internationals companies, insurance companies etc as clients.
My manager its pretty cool and the owners are cool also no complain of it
just some lot of overwork sometimes but well guess we all get that
Anyways After 2 years of working i was about to ask for a raise but before it they call me and told me i was doing a really good job and they gave me 20% of my salary as a raise...
When they gave that to me i let my manager know i wanted to reach X amount of money.
Then a few months later like 5 months later they gave me another 25%.
Anyways it has pass a year after my last raise and i would like another 20% of raise maybe like 2 years after my last raise, mmm you think im asking too much? or soon? hahah
I do have a really good performance, there are a couple of clients telling my manager that i did an awesome job and they liked a lot my job. Plus im always getting more and more certifications... and always doing more and more complex stuff.
