Project Administrator - market research…

I hope this is okay to ask. Are there any Project Administrators in the group? I have been a PA I for two years and considering asking for a significant increase on my next review. I currently make 24.14 and hour and have full time employment. I’d appreciate comparing job duties and pay to others with my title - either here on this thread or through DM. Thank you in advance!

Project manager here. Do some research — find out the average pay nationally, in your city, etc. It may take some digging but the information is out there. You’ll have a better chance of receiving a raise if you present data. Also, look back at your last projects and identify anything where you went above and beyond or saved the company money. If you find that you’re below the average, put together an outline of what you’re going to say so that you appear well-researched and professional.

Thank you. I’ve been doing research and there is a lot of variance, which is why I am here trying to get a little personal. Overall, I believe the average pay is higher but maybe I don’t have the same job description?

As someone in who has a role, I would look at all the added tasks you have taken since your hire date. Show how you have take ownership of some tasks from the PM showing what you have accomplished

I am a project manager and have recently joined the Project Management Insitute pmi.org; in part that there are trainings/certifications you can take to level up your skillset. Most importantly, they have local chapters, helping make connection with others in your field, in your region. It may not be for everyone, but I would recommend that you check it out.
