Hi,
I accepted a job offer with a company and a salary offer too low for the industry i work in. I accepted the offer because I was losing hope of finding job after 5 months of search. My salary right now isnt even enough for me to even rent a nice apartment of my own after paying my current bills including student loans. I made a mistake in being afraid to ask for more. The company carries out yearly reviews and I started work with them in December, 2006. I need a pay at least $8,000 to $10,000 more than what I'm getting. this is the beginning salary level for someone in the tech industry. Do you think I should speak with HR and my boss for this or should I look for another job. I have pretty good skills and experience before I joined the company and I'm doing pretty well in the company. Advice please because the pay is killing me. Transportation to work, a month alone is close to $250 and it's not worth it for me. What is the avg % increase range during reviews and what do I do?
