<prompt> Human: Ive been working for the same company for a little over 2 years. The first 6 months I was a commission based employee but since then have been promoted with a gaurunteed salary of 17.50hour plus a small commission. This comes out to about 45k a year with the overtime I work. I feel like I am due for a raise but dont know how much to ask for. I have a good relationships with my superiors but Im still intimidated to ask.  <response>: The best time to negotiate a raise is when you get your job, however since thats not the case, the second best time is when youre handed more responsibilities .You can always try to ask them for a raise any other time, though right now your superiors know that youre willing to work your current responsibilities for X, theyre not going to be as amenable to paying you more. However, you can always stress things like the quality of the work youve done, give them performance metrics as to how things have improved under your work and how it helps the company. Stress your overtime, and how committed you are to the company. Nowadays companies dont value loyaltytenure as much, but still worth a shot.You mention you have good relationships with your superiors so theres definitely a chance theyll take what you say into consideration.
