What's a good percentage of my salary to ask my boss for as a increase in todays economy? It seems like we are in a good position with todays I/T market to tighten the screws. We have high level job positions in I/T open for months here in Indiana.

i just got 4% plus 600 :evil:
I administer 10 servers and i make $31k now. 🙁
 
I got 19% last year. Working on current year now, looking like 60-70%. Will lyk.
 
It was just approved that I'll be getting a 3% raise in July. October will bring me a one time bonus of $70 for each year that I've worked in my position.....which will be a whopping $210. 😛
 
In May I got a promotion worth 8% and an annual raise of 4% with it. Depends on how much you already make and where you stand amongst others in your field/company/area of expertise...

Right, we all believe that.

Well, let's say if he was minimum wage, so a 19% increase is not that hard, and if he's promoted to manager or something, that's possible. Still not much, but hey, it's something.

So you're expecting 6 figures? If so, congrats.

No way. That would be awesome, but no. If I do the hoola dance to the moon monkeys, I may get 50k. If I were working for motorolla, I would have gotten a $70k bonus tho. My company doesn't have a cost saving schedule like that unfortunately. I am just fricking happy to be employed in this horrible economy.
 
i re-nogotiated my contract and ended up with a 5% raise but then before i signed the guy with the position above mine quit and so they decided to promote me to his position and now they are offering another 4%...im not sure if i should've gotten 10% upgrade on the negotiated salary or the previous slarary..but yeah 3-5% seems the norm when it comes to "raises"
 
In our company, the standard annual raise is about 3 to 5 percent, if you did your job well and didn't get into any kinds of trouble. Typical Fortune 500 company.
 
My percentage is a little tough to figure out exactly because I work overseas and get 20% on top of my base pay, but last year I got 6% (annual) plus a $500 bonus. This year I got a 5% "promotion" plus I've already been told I'll get another 5% annual in September. I work sys admin with 7 other people in charge of 24 servers and my base is somewhere in the low 60's now.

You guys dont even want to KNOW what my raise was..... :frown:

And it looks like mine is about the department average...... :frown: :frown:
 
in 1996, my very first job was part time at a fast food place for close to minimum wage. I quit after 5 months and got my second job as a part time Pharmacy Technician. In that year my pay improved by 38%
in 1997, I got about 16% in raises
in 1998, I got about 16% in raises
in 1999, I got about 13% in raises (I was pretty much maxed out for pharmacy tech pay)
in 2000, I got about 16% in raises (I got promoted to Sr pharmacy tech and wass full time after dropping out of college in the spring)
in 2001, I got a better job for the same company(help center) ... about 16% more pay
in 2002, I got about 13% in raises
in 2003, I went from a Help Center C to a Help Center B coordinator and got 17% in raises (it was a good year for me ...)
This year I went from the Help Center to Unix & DB Support Analyst and so for I'm up 22% (this year is awesome ...)

in about 5 Months time I'm due for my first review and potential raise ... and I hear they are pretty good where I am at right now. I am really looking forward to it 🙂 hopefully I'll be making enough to purchase some real estate this year ....
