Unfortunately, finding the perfect time to ask for a raise or promotion is more art than science, but mid November might be a good place start. Hereâs why. First off is budgets. For companies on a calendar fiscal year (January through December), many are now planning out their budgets for 2013.
Ask for a performance review. If your boss doesn't routinely conduct reviews, request one. If your review is positive, use the opportunity to ask for the raise you believe is fair and in line with similar jobs in your field. If the review is not the greatest, use the constructive criticism to improve your performance. Then ask for another review in a few months to discuss your progress.
