<prompt> Human: Hi all, Recently my company raised their starting salary for my position entry level engineer by 15k and 20k additional signing bonus which is taking affect next year. Im not counting on seeing that extra signing bonus, but what can I do to ensure that my salary is at least as much as the new entry level employees when they start in the summer? Every year in January or February we have meetings with our bosses to discuss compensation so I feel like that is my opportunity to showcase the value I provide and negotiate my salary. Seeing as they will have a year less experience, I would feel pretty disrespected if they do not honor that pay increase for the older entry level employees.  <response>: You answered your pen question already. Just be prepared to discuss with your boss on that meeting, if not sooner
