The time at my company has finally come to give out our yearly reviews and salary actions. Working remote often makes this a bit difficult as its kind of informal to do it over the phone, but luckily my manager was able to combine it with some other meetings he was flying into town for so we could meet face to face at their hotel.

It went pretty much exactly the same as last year. I was in the “above expectations” category (5/6) and received a 6% raise.

I will also be bumped up in title from “analyst” to “lead analyst” which will put me into the next pay band> Unfortunately it has not officially gone through so my manager was not sure if it was going to mean a pay bump when it does or not until next year.

So I am pretty happy with that, 6% should be enough to keep up with rising costs around town and give us a little extra money to play with at the same time.
