In May I asked for a raise. Not just asked, but researched thoroughly my position and responsibilities and spent a week coming up with the perfect email stating a figure and supporting it.
I started the job in 2017, got a cross-promotion (more duties same pay) to coordinating smaller projects and suggesting organizational improvements.
I was making the same salary since starting in 2017.
Tonight I received an official offer of employment.
It's a 23% raise with guaranteed minimum 3% raise yearly, and 4 weeks vacation up from the legal 2, and I'm getting retroactive pay back to last year's promotion.
It's far, far more than I asked or expected, but I'm over the moon and probably won't sleep tonight.
Just wanted to share my outstanding great news!
Congratulations!
