How to ask for a raise at a new job...
I accepted a job in a HCOL area with a former client and while the pay is about 10k better than what I was making before, I don't believe it is enough. The responsiblites that I have are far greater than what I was doing at my old company. I was hired as a Program Manager and then found out on Friday that I am also being given the role as Product Manager as well (news not delivered by my boss, another executive or I would have talked about compensation) How do I renegoitate pay after I have been here for only a month?
TIA

Usually I would say that 30 days in is NO time to ask for a raise. You need the "lay of the land" first. Know who to talk to , know what they care about, understand the culture and how that relates to paychecks, at least have some kind of inkling about the best way to approach this - and that would take longer than 30 days. But since they are a former client, I suppose you may know them better than someone who is absolutely brand new.
As they were a former client, my guess is that they know how much you were making before. So that you are making 10k more, in this economy especially, I would guess whoever made that offer feels really good about what they are paying you. Be VERY careful not to come across as greedy. You just got a $10k bump, you don't want to appear ungrateful at the beginning of your business relationship.

Thanks ladies. I guess I forgot to add, I was planning on waiting for 3 months and then ask but if 6 is better, then that is ok.
I did tell them how much I made before they extended the offer, last week my new boss told my old boss that they can't believe what a steal they got for me and that I am underpaid for the amount of work I am doing. My old boss and I have a very close relationship so he told me about the conversation. I will wait for a few months and then re-explore the subject.
