Senior analyst IT service company shared at Reddit that his juniors would be paid more than he was paid. The user mentions that he is a former TCS, and that is his second job. When he changed jobs, he blames TCS for having a “really low” salary. From my TCS salary, however, in the second company gained almost 85% increase.
“But now I find that 2 juniors who work under me have less experience than I do, hold a junior role in the hierarchy, get paid by 30-40% more than me. Just because they switched from a better paid society,” the user wrote.
“I do more work, I have more responsibility, more ownership and stress than them, but I get less than them. I don’t want to compare them because my initial CTC was low, but it’s really hard to know that you are doing more work, take more ownership, but you still pay less,” added the user.
Other Reddit users suggested how they should try to get a higher salary.
“Ask for a market repair. Go ready with why you deserve it. You offer a market salary what your peers are doing, why you deserve it, what you did, etc.
“I was on this ship. And you would be surprised to simply ask what you can get. I was under the impression earlier that merit would determine compensation. But, boy, I was quite wrong!” He came from another.
Another user noted: “You may have 1-1 s HR for revision of compensation and you can propose a fair addition (do not quote numbers and names). If your company has a performance check every quarter, you can give this matter.”
What to do in such a situation?
Many employees assume that their manager can handle their career growth, but it rarely works. Career development must begin with an individual. Before discussing growth with the boss, it is important to think about current skills, strengths, weaknesses and future goals.
According to Harvard Business Review, career conversation should be a separate meeting, not part of routine reviews. At this meeting, you have to share success, explain what motivates you, and link the ambitions with the company’s goals.
Ask the opportunity, required skills and visibility within the organization. Then design a realistic plan with intelligent (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time -bound) objectives and read it with your manager.
Regular tracking ensures matching and progress. Proper planning will help you take control of your career and at the same time create a mutually advantageous way for you and your employer.
