After 3 years and 10 months (1 year intership, 2 yrs 10 months full-time) of web design/ development, I'm finally getting my comeupance. I haven't gotten an increase since I started at a meager 27K. Would it be laughable to argue for 40%? Any suggestions on how to pull this off? I was thinking of arguing the point that because of the way things work at my co., I assume every role during the project lifecycle including art direction, project management, and production.
Depending on how this goes, I may just cut my losses and find something else.

(Apr 24 06, 12:05)Could be, but I was still in school then and was only able to commit part-time.

what is it you do around here?

Sounds like you're working for a bunch of crocks - throw a request..no no – a DEMAND, on their desk so thick they don't know what hit them.
Seirously though. If you do a good job, a 20% annual raise isn't an awful lot. Just make sure you have enough smooth talk about yourself as to why you are worth it when they ask - cause they will.
Good luck!

dude, at the very least you should be making 40k with only having 3yrs experience. At LEAST!
At my last job we hired a kid almost straight out of college for doing web work. 40k.

(Apr 24 06, 12:12)this is the new bond franchise. he's not smooth, just a killing machine who's good with computers. people wish they could be like this guy to make themselves feel safe. bond was a good cold war figure, as it was a big mind fuck. isn't matt damon like 5'5"?

Thanks for the pep talk folks. I'm gonna go in there tomorrow, give 'em a five finger point and demand no less than 50%. If I get it, I owe everyone a choco taco.
- uberdesigner0
100% increase nimrod
- mpfree0
by far Bourne is cooler than Bond, it's more real
specially with that new Bond
*pukes
- uberdesigner0
what could be cooler than traveling to exotic locals, sleeping with hot chicks for work, all with a liscense to kill?
jason bourne just runs around and breaks peoples necks. it's cool to watch but ghey
- mpfree0
ok fine, Bourne iiiiisssssssss always on the run. Bond hunts his prey, but that new dude is fukt

Why have you stuck it out for 3 years on 27k? How have you survived? I would be looking elsewhere unless they are willing to pay 40/45k a year min, move on. They owe you some back pay or some shit.
- kyl30
agreed, go for 60k
