If you are not getting paid what you deserve you need to speak up or management may continue to undervalue you. I complained 3 months after I started a job once and they had a meeting, discussed me, and came back with a higher offer (not what I was asking for, but still). How could you ask for more money three months into a new job? Easy: Once you realize the job you do is worth far more than what you were offered (reality sets in), it's plain to see. If I wouldn't have said anything, why would they give me more money? The only way some companies learn to appreciate you is if you put some pressure on them. Of course, you have to be worth it too.

It's a delicate situation, but you sound like you have a good grasp of it. Good luck! It’s a delicate situation, but you sound like you have a good grasp of it.

I had three interviews with this particular company, and we didn't speak salary once. I am waiting on them to make an official offer, at which point I plan on negotiating. I have a good idea of what my skills are worth in my market, and I have a rough idea of what this position will offer in terms of salary and other compensation. I hope it goes well! And thanks for the mention! :) Great tips! I had three interviews with this particular company, and we didn’t speak salary once.
