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, the general consensus I've experienced in my 6 years in engineering has been that in order to move on and increase your salary you have to change company. Whether that was just the case with my previous employer which did seem to be a given as many seemed to leave for more money and then appear back a year or two down the line or well a couple of people i know about got other jobs offered with the pure intention of using it to get their pay up with the company rather than leaving - luckily for them it worked. Otherwise they could have found themselves leaving or accepting they were stuck on the same salary. As for my current employer... I'm not sure. Nobody so far has said this is the case. So not sure.
