Dear Sir,
If you are good at your job and you get good feedback from the bosses but your salary has not been raised for two years and the company is doing well, is it okay to ask for a raise?
Will I lose my job if I do so? Or will the company stop giving me good projects?
Please advise.

Ans:

Hi.

Dual employment is illegal and you must not engage in that, especially without the knowledge of your current employer.

Instead, you can look for a job that pays you a better salary.

Ans: Question duplicated. Answered

Ans: You could put it in a subtle manner without actually saying that you need a raise! And if your HR realises your worth, I do not think you would require to even say it! All the best!

Ans: Thank you for getting in touch with me on Rediff Gurus. If your current organization is unable to offer a salary increase, consider exploring work opportunities with other employers where they are looking for professionals like you. Look for positions with higher salary potential or better growth prospects on job sites like LinkedIn and Naukri, and showcase your value to employers by highlighting your achievements, revenue generated through successful student placements, and positive feedback from students and parents. You can also provide evidence of how your efforts have contributed to the success and inquire about new opportunities for your career advancement by asking them about potential promotions, leadership roles, or opportunities to take on more challenging assignments that come with higher pay and greater responsibilities.

Ans: Loyalty should be mutual. If the company isn’t meeting you halfway after years of service, you have every right to seek a place that will. Even if you love the company, staying somewhere that doesn’t recognize or reward you is career-limiting.
