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!

    I have to say, that (hopefully without putting anyone off) Miriam's reply is the norm, and this is not gender specific.  many of the companies I have worked for (mostly large international organisations) have been similar,  regular reviews and performance related pay, but no major pay increases.  the only way to get these is to have a major promotion (normally taking you up at least one grade level) or a sideways move with some clever negotiations ( I once made the mistake of accepting a sideways move with promises of future recompense which never materialised).  However, again this was the company standard as I know my male coleagues were treated exactly the same as I was.



    It's business folks.  if anyone out there works for a company which gives significant pay increses due to persons ablity and without the company being held over a barrel - good on you!
