Reasons for asking boss to increase salary before starting?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 10th, 2012 10:51 PM Author: learning disabled tanning salon Considering asking for $ for bar exam costs...I undersold myself by about $8-10K in salary discussions and can't get over it. I want to ask for higher salary before I start rather than any increase being based on merit-based bonuses, which aren't guaranteed, and the value being uncertain. Since I know nothing about the area of law I'm entering I'm not sure I'll impress anyway and get much. I'm basically really underpaid at this job and it's ruining my life just thinking about. I've thought of saying that I can't live at home for a bit so higher COL with paying rent as well, necessitates earning a bit more than minimum wage for MFH but I don't want to lie either since they'll see my mailing address hasn't changed. I'm not really sure what excuse I can use otherwise. |

Date: May 10th, 2012 11:04 PM Author: learning disabled tanning salon Yeah true. I was thinking of just asking for 5K as a stipend to help pay bar exam costs . I applied for a graduation award from my school to help cover costs but not sure I'll win it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1945681&forum_id=2#20665754) |

Date: May 11th, 2012 2:45 AM Author: cream curious kitty cat All of your moves since getting the job have been fucked up. Things are good. Stop fucking indulging your petty complaints about non-problems. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1945681&forum_id=2#20667840) |

Date: May 11th, 2012 2:50 AM Author: learning disabled tanning salon Bro I haven't made any moves since getting the job, what are you talking about? Only thing I did since was email them to ask for letter on statement of salary and whether they're paying bar exam costs which I needed for this award I'm applying for at my school. I haven't been in contact with them otherwise, even if I implied I was on xo. Was just posturin'. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1945681&forum_id=2#20667867) |
