I had a pay review after I'd been in my job about a year. I was sat down and told I would be getting a new salary. It worked out at about a 15% increase.
That wasn't bad, but I didn't get to discuss it, I was just told. That was almost a year ago now. I've got a lot more experience now and I've got a review scheduled for last week so I guess it will now be this week. I want to ask for a raise because I bring in loads of money for the company, I'm the most competant member of our graphics team (which is scary given I'm one of the youngest). I also bring motion graphics and type design skills that no one else has.
I've been looking around at other studios and had some interivews. I've been going for mid-weight jobs. I know from this table that I should be on about 25/26k now.
I have 3 years experience. Does this sound about right?
I'm looking to move from my current job but don't want to leave until I have another position secured. If I get more money I may stick around a little longer but it's not likely.
