My boss told me that I'm about to be promoted. This is my first non-internship job. Am I supposed to negotiate the raise they offer me?

Edit: yeah gently caress it, the guy below is right. Chisel them as much as you can, if you can. In my old company, promotion often didn't mean much more than a title change as a result of tenure, all raises tended to be handled at annual performance review unless you explicitly applied to another team at which point you could negotiate.

I mean I guess you can try, but if you're just doing the same thing then there's a good chance they'll just laugh you back to your desk. No, do not listen to this guy.

i would not negotiate a promotion, you have zero leverage "uhh pretty please can i get more money?" you get promotions when you're already doing a job to that level, like what are you gonna do be an underperformer if they dont give you 5% on top of their 'offer'

Just LOL if you don't negotiate at all. What the gently caress is this horseshit advice? The worst they can say is "nah, take it or leave it."

I would only negotiate a raise attached to a promotion if the promotion means a significant change in responsibility. like if you were getting “promoted” into a manager position or something if it’s just developer 2 to developer 3 or whatever, no, don’t try to negotiate that. unless it’s a really pitiful raise and would make you immediately start job searching then w/e it doesn’t really matter because if you’re to that point your employer has already lost you

sounds to me like you set your account to use facebook as an identity provider. no idea if you can undo that, but a different email (even if it’s just a plus address) ought to get around it. that’s obnoxious tho for sure

just got a perfunctory rejection because my solution to their hackerrank toy problem, despite passing their test suite and not being batshit crazy (as far as i could tell), was somehow incorrect? who knows, they didn't give a reason! i'd forgotten how much i hate this poo poo

where do I post if my idiot "consulting" company assigned me a client where I'm working with information science grads to essentially click buttons in a VM and take notes. For close to 100k a year. I'm gonna start day drinking lol at no point in my 4 years since graduating with a BS in comp sci have I ever had to use anything more than soft skills and like, basic scripting that a monkey could do. The world is a joke. Tax me 100%

the only good thing about job interviews is once you succeed at just one, you get to instantly upgrade your lifestyle for the foreseeable future, perhaps forever!

Not that I would change anything because honestly quitting my old job to go traveling and move to a new country was rad as hell. The immediate 6 months after moving while unemployed and desperate for a job though was easily the worst 6 months of my career, and I'd take going into a lovely stressful underpaid job over that every single time.

I was unemployed for 2 years and it was the most difficult period of my life. Now I press computer buttons and nearly all the issues I had then were solved by a steady income
