Negotiating Salary
    #27795639 - 05/27/22 07:37 PM (1 year, 7 months ago)

Back in November I got a job doing helpdesk work and I'm assignerd to a charter school as their IT Admin.  I've done retail my whole life so I'm used to little yearly bumps, but this private sector job is worlds different. 

Not to brag, (actually yeah, to brag) but the school routinely tells my main office that I'm a "godsend" and they didn't know how they functioned without me.  The feeling is mutual; I never thought I could be this happy at work.

Full disclosure, they started me at 47.5/y

I'm told I should be pulling in at least 55.  My bosses at the main office are very reasonable people, so if any of you have similar experiences, how do you go about negotiating your salary?

You gotta find some way to provide evidence you should be making 55K a year

Demonstrate your current pay is below market standard


Find 2 or 3 comparable jobs that list a higher salary than what you get now

You might go do more job interviews and get one to offer you 55k. Then go to your boss and say these guys are offering you 55k to switch to their company. That will force your boss to make a decision right there to either match the 55k or let you go.
