Would You Leave Your Existing Job In Pursuit Of A Higher Salary, Rather Than Ask For a Payrise?

''We’re raised as women to believe you’ll get what you deserve if you keep your head down,” says Chloe Drew, executive director of the Council of Urban Professionals.



If this is true, then it would explain why so many women are leaving their existing employment, in pursuit of a higher salary, rather than simply asking?



How many of you ask?  How many of you receive?  What has your experience of requesting a raise been?  Could you say a few inspiring words to encourage others to ask?



Let us know here.



You won't get a raise, if you don't ask for one!

    Hi,
    I work for a company with pay performance reviews and a progression structure. I came off the graduate scheme into a role, with the promise that I would be progressed to the next grade once I met the competencies. Despite more than meeting the criteria for the next grade up, i've been fobbed off with 'requiring experience' before I would be considered for the next grade. I have had incremental pay increases and bonuses reflecting my work so I don't grumble too loudly. It does make me doubt my achievements and worth to the rest of the team though.
    However, I have heard that other former graduates have either had to change roles or be bullish in order to get the pay grade they deserved. I chose to be patient, but that hasn't worked. I have also been warned off from being bullish or putting in a grievance, as it has impeded others' progression in the future.

    I am hoping that it is just my organisation. Either way, I am seriously looking at another role within the same organisation (different business).

    Has anyone had experience of this? What did you do?
