| new position available There is an open position in my IT dept. my manager has planted the seed to draw my interest which has worked...lol. I can do the job but i'm wondering how i should i bring up the financial aspect of this new position (which hasn't been defined yet) ?
I been there long enough to know that if it's not brought up it never will be discussed and i refuse to take on additional responsibility without a substantial increase |

| Then say upfront you're interested in giving it a go but would like to establish some sort of timeline for a pay increase and what the expectations of that would be. I had a similar experience about 4 years ago where they offered me the "opportunity" to help out with the IT work. After 2 months they dropped the outsourced help and just had me do everything in house. I of course still do my original non IT job and haven't seen a cent extra in pay. Now with a merger having happened they want to drop the consultant the other company has and have me handle all their stuff as well. They say the details of pay and how to handle my non IT work can be looked at after a months. Some days I'd like to just run for the hills. |

| That sounds good but i'm not wanting it to seem like i'm gunning for it just because of $$$, i like where i work & the people i work with. I just need some advise to let them know that i will take it while fulfilling the need to enquire about the financial aspect of this new position..... |

| A good off the cuff remark could be something like, "So with the added responsibilities how much extra will I be making?" and let it lay out there for them to kick around. Be prepared, if you can, for the question, "How much more do you want?". To which you can reply, "As much as it pays!". |

Agreed. Make it sound like you expected that a pay rise is natural.
Don't undersell yourself.

| Or say something like:
"I would love to take on that responsibility and could definitely use the extra money."

What I did was, I researched what the average salary for that position was in the area, and then presented that information to my boss in a formal report. I emphasized how much more work I will be taking on, and presented by background and qualifications. My new salary increase was accepted.
Although I should note I'm not in IT.

Should have asked for more. Of course I did. I added 10% to the base salary. Although I wish I had asked for 20% LOL.

I guess that's a good way of putting it especially since raises like cost of living increases and etc are non-existent. Might as well just shoot to the top of the pay grade.... |
