I think my salary is low! I work for a software company in the cincinnati area. I work in the operating dept.?
I work for a software company in the cincinnati area. I work in the operating dept. I am making 33,000 and feel I should be at 40. I have an associates degree in computer science. I have been working there 9 months. My year review is in 3 months and i'm thinking they dont give that high of raises. How can I convince them to pay me more? Should I be making more money or? What is a typical first raise jump, percentage wise? p.s. My performance is good, and I never miss work, etc. Id rather not say the company. but I will have my 4 year degree in 1 year. I'm almost done.

33 with an AS degree and less than a year experience? I would call that a bargain. Go back and get your BS. Check out www.salary.com for some statistics.

i would def. ask for a raise what company is it?

Sorry, but you need to quit whining. With an **Associate** degree and having been there for only 9 months, you're making out like a bandit! :-) Ask the Human Resources person at your company what the general policy is regarding raises. Typically, a straight cost-of-living annual raise is around 3%.

You're doing pretty well, especially for someone in Operations. I have an MS and am making less than you (of course, I work at a university, which means I make less than people in industry...still, in a university you'd be making more like $18K with your background).

You dont give some important information to make a determination from, such as what languages you are programming in, and if you have any other skills, such as project management, or the ability to do analysis. That being said, with 9 months experience, $33K isnt horrible. You can always ask for a larger raise, and its possible you could get it, but I wouldnt ask until the 1 year review, as 9 months is a pretty short time. I wouldnt push too hard, or start looking for a new job until you finish your BS though. You can always consider going contract as well, if you really dont want/need your benefits, they make a higher hourly rate. I just hired a new contractor in Cinci at $55 an hour for VBA programming on Excel stuff.
