Okay, so I'm at a place now that's badly underpaying me for my job. I make 60 percent of the median pay for a sales assisstant, and the thing is, I'm slumming it with this job anyway. I have a BA and did selling for two years, I basically took this job because I had been unemployed for 9 months and I needed something, anything, and they were all "yeah, you'll be promoted to a sales rep when one of them leaves". My 60 day review is coming up, and they'll be talking about a raise. I need a 25 percent raise to hit the "bottom 10 percent" line for sales assisstants, and gently caress if I'm going to be satisfied with that. I'm making less than half of what I made in my first job out of college. Right now, after taxes, I make about 350 dollars a week, so with student loans and my health insurance starting up soon (at 60 bucks a week!), I need a gigantic raise. I can't get my own place or anything on what they're paying me now. So, how do you negotiate after stupidly taking a job offer you didn't negotiate enough? Do I beat them over the head with BLS pay statistics and my credentials? Try to line something up so I can threaten to walk? Just get a job somewhere else? One bargaining chip I know they're going to bring out is the stock options. I don't see a dime of that until I've been with the company for three years, and on what they're paying me now, I can't afford to do that, so it's going to be really hard to not laugh when that comes up.
