<prompt> Human: Bonus and Raises happen in beginning of April. I just got my fourth raise and bonus in a row, but Im a little dissatisfied with the size of my salary raise in comparison to my bonus. Bonus is 30 of my total comp, but paid out in April. Making me feel trapped in my job. Also, work in Finance, long hours in the fall and winter, and we have huge margins on our business. Senior people in our office do less work and talk about how much money they have... Hard for me to be motivated to push towards sales goals and be pumped in group meetings when I feel undervalued and underpaid with my salary. Ive started looking around, and Im qualified for other 85k - 100k salary jobs. Should I negotiate and ask for more money, or start looking for other positions? Edit 1: Located in Seattle  <response>: Bonus is 30 of my total comp, but paid out in April. Making me feel trapped in my job.How does that make you feel trapped? Lots of companies are on a fiscal year, which ends in March. That means the end-of-year bonuses wouldnt happen until April, thats pretty standard. Senior people in our office do less work and talk about how much money they have...Yeah, they probably put in the work already. Not saying its fair that they do less work, but that tends to happen. Also, who knows why they have so much money. Maybe they saved when they were younger or their spouse makes a lot or they keep their living expenses low. Ive started looking around, and Im qualified for other 85k - 100k salary jobs.Qualified for and actually interviewed forgot offered a job are very, very different. Lots of people will qualify for those jobs and only 1 person per job will get it. So before you get too tied up in what you qualify for, maybe actually apply for those jobs and see if the interviewer thinks youre as qualified as you think you are.You can always ask for more, but dont be surprised when you get told no. On top of that, you need to have some reasons to back up what youre asking for. Dont use what others get paid or what you could be worth elsewhere. If youre doing more work than others and can prove it, especially if that work is a value-add for the company, you stand a better chance at getting what you want than if you just complain that things arent fair or you feel undervalued.
