Alex AI · Answer

It's up to you, and it's up to the company.

If you keep improving and becoming more valuable to the company, you might be able to ask for a raise once, twice, or even three times a year.

But if the company doesn't have the budget for it, you might end up just wishing for it. So, it's about both your skills (technical and negotiation) and the company's ability to meet your request.

It is essential to find a middle ground between compensating employees fairly and preserving the financial health of the organization when determining how often to increase salaries. Ideally, salary evaluations should occur on a yearly basis to account for shifts in performance, market conditions, and business goals. However, it is important to consider individual situations and the resources of the organization to determine the best course of action for your particular circumstances. Maintaining a balance between consistency and adaptability is crucial for establishing a sustainable and motivating compensation plan.
