<prompt> Human: A little background : 22, graduated in december 2014 from college for business administration, living with parents, my current take home pay comes out to 25k post tax and my expenses come out to 900month so i can essentially save 1k a month. budget isnt the problem here though, i know how and when to spendMy dilemma: having 1900month take home is definitely not enough i live in Toronto and Ive essentially been told theres not much room for growth here because the people that are in the roles i can potentially be in arent going anywhere anytime soon.I work in a small-mid size manufacturing company for a year now, and in this company one person does multiple jobs. For example: the CFO is also the plant manager, the purchaser as well as many others. A pretty disorganized place if im being honest Other than the main administration responsibilities, i actually do a large amount of the AR and AP work that takes a load off of the only other ap clerk and ar clerk. So the amount of work I am doing is definitely not worth the 15hour when other job listings ive looked at are well above 20, even without an accounting designation. Ive never asked for a raise before but ive been reading up on what to say if I were to ask for one. However, if they say no, do I just accept it and stay here? Do I ask when I have another offer? Whats the proper time to ask for a raise?PS sorry if this is all over the place, didnt really know which information to include. If theres anything Im forgetting, please let me know.  <response>: First ask for a raise, then based on their answer, you can look for a new job.Edit: you didnt say how long youve been working there... assuming since graduation in 2014, its fair game. You can ask every year imo.Edit2: nm, 1 year there...ask for the raise.
