How to Discuss Promotion/Payrise?


I came across to this post talking about salary negotiation while taking offers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24588379

I found the blog post and the discussion enlightening for the offer phase.

I think another difficulty for us engineers is to talk about promotion and pay rises. Do you know any resources discussing how to approach to those discussions? Do you have any tips/insight for those who are reasonably happy with their job but think they could do with career progression or increase in pay more than 1-3%?

My co-founder and I have built https://peerwyse.com to help with these conversations by letting you think about who your peers are. We are intending to pump out blog posts with some of the great advice we've collected from our user interviews over the coming months.

If you'd be willing to let me interview you for our startup my email is on my HN profile.
