Asking for a raise also puts you on management radar. some people like that, some people don't. they consider you a "flight risk" at that point. good companies will try to figure out ways (other than money) to keep you around. Sometimes though, personal dynamics change and those people just leave a few months later anyway, even if they do get a bump in the short term.
- toomuchtodo 13y agoYou and the parent you posted to answered perfectly for me.
- sblawrie 13y agoMy company has straight up told me that they know I'm a "flight risk". I've been there for a year and a half, and they know I'm looking to do "bigger" things then what I currently work on. So, they've been continually giving me raises. It's really nice, but frankly, it doesn't matter. I'm still interviewing elsewhere. They're right; I want to go somewhere where I'm challenged, and unless they can pay me 40% more than what I'll make on the free market, I'm a "flight risk".
