Hi all, just after some advice around managing my salary expectations.
I work in financial services in a client-facing role with both initial and ongoing revenue. I was hired under a “junior” title on a $110k salary and started partway through the financial year.
9 months in, I’ve brought in $127k revenue so far, with another roughly$120k already signed in the pipeline.
I’ve already locked in around $180k recurring/ongoing revenue for next year before adding anything else over the next few months. So year 2 should start with a minimum ~$180k revenue baseline before any new business.
Feedback has been very strong, including my boss saying “it has gone as well as it possibly could have”.
I’m expecting a decent pay rise at my 12-month review, especially as I don’t think the “junior” title reflects my role anymore, but I also don’t want to get ahead of myself and end up disappointed.
Are high expectations here actually warranted, or should I temper them a bit?
