How can I ask my employer about a pay rise? I have been in my job for 1.5 years and I didn’t feel confident enough at my annual review to bring it up (I know i need to be more assertive, I'm working on it!). I did get a cost-of-living % increase, but I want to shoot for at least another 10%. Should I wait until my six-month review or just bring it up now? Does anyone have experience successfully asking for a raise?

I work as trainer and assessor for cert 3 individual support. this is my first role as trainer when I accepted this role. I accepted this role without knowing what awards my job actually under. But after 3 months, now I realised there is new awards for my role when I read that, I actually get paid 5 dollar less then the current awards (awards says $60.18 as casual level 2). Im aware that im new, this makes me hesitant to ask for this to my employer. Im looking any advice, please. thankyou.

So I'm very disgruntled at work right now - long story short, we hired a new person in our team slightly junior to me and I found out they're getting paid around ~5k more. I know it's not that much more at the end of the day but wtf. How do I bring it up with my manager? I can't not say anything. Discussing salary is banned at my company so I'm not sure how to initially mention it. Tips? Advice?

Just wanted know who or who has worked for maccas as a shift manager? If they offered you full time or part time? And what your expected annual to be? Coming with 12 years of hospo experience from manager to supervisor to an assistant manager. Just want to know especially with the cost of living if I’ve been offered the right amount?

Question for FT peeps. How much overtime do you do? I find myself at work until 7ish or slightly later the 3 days I'm in the office. I don't seem to have any overtime or time in lieu stuff in my contract. Is it required by law? I don't want to be working late all the time but I also don't want to lose my job. Is it normal to have to work late this much? I'm in marketing for a tech co.

That impressive salary figure? It's just one piece of the puzzle. Smart job seekers look at the complete package before saying yes. Consider these often-overlooked factors: • Learning opportunities – Training budgets, certifications, education reimbursement • Future planning – Retirement contributions, stock options • Career progression – Promotion pathways, mentorship programs The best move isn't always the biggest paycheck, it's the complete package that supports your long-term growth.
