Hi all,
A bit of background first. I've been with my company since last quarter 2015. It's a small IT company with roughly 60 employees. I work in support, in a team of 4 (soon to be 5 with a new hire coming on board this month.) I am the second longest serving member of the team, my team leader has been here 15+ years, but only works part time three days a week and only comes into the office one day a week. On the days the team leader is not in the office, the other team members ask me for help a lot. I came into the company with zero IT work experience or third level qualifications, not sure if this matters. Each year since I've started I've got a 3% cost of living wage increase as have 95% (at an estimate) of the rest of the company.
So, with all that said, I was told in December by the section lead that I would be getting a raise in the new year. I heard nothing more about this until now, when she told me that I'd be getting a 6% increase. I was taken aside when she was in the middle of a lot of other things and pretty much just told and before I had a chance to process, she had rushed off to her next meeting.
This is the first private company I've worked in, in the public sector where I spent most of my work life so far, raises weren't really an option. If you wanted more money you needed to get a promotion. So I don't really know how to or have the confidence to outright demand more money but I feel that my performance deserves it.
The company I work for has a very flat team structure. There's the team lead and everybody else so a promotion is out of the question here. I mentioned earlier that we have a new start beginning this month, I don't know his salary expectations but I was involved in the interviewing of some of the other candidates. I am on £27500ish after the raise, but some of them were asking for a starting salary of £28-30K. Also, just to highlight that I'm really only getting an extra 3% raise on top of the 3% cost of living.
So... having technically accepted a raise, can I ask for more in such a short period of time after? Should I wait and see how the appraisal goes before making any move? Should I leave it for now and ask again next year? Should I just be happy I got anything at all?
TLDR got a small raise, feel I should get more, appraisal coming up this week, should I use this as an opportunity to ask for more?
