I have been with my company for 2 yrs now as a marketing admin assistant/ graphic designer, and recently found out from a friend/co-workwer of mine (who is the same job title as me, but strictly admin, no graphics), that she is making about 10k more than me an was only hired 12 months ago.
I had previously asked my boss about 6 months ago for an increase in salary, that would fairly match my job skills and what I contribute to the company, and i got an increase. But at the time he said he gave me what he could afford and when i got the increase cheque it was an extra $25/month (talk about a slap in the face.)
I spoke with my boss recently an let him know that the salary gap was completely unfair, an that unless the company brings up my salary I will have to look elsewhere.
3 wks has gone by an things seem to be going nowhere, so I'm currently looking for another job, but if I am offered an increase should I ask for the mrkt rate for Graphic Designer salary+1 yr retro pay?
