<prompt> Human: I joined my company, essentially a startup, almost 6 months ago. I took a 25 pay cut and turned down a more highly paid job to join, as I could see progression and growth and have a lot of confidence in the company. Before accepting the offer, I agreed to take the cut so long as my daily hours were reduced by 30 minutes, I was given more vacation days, and I had salary reviews built into the contract.I am approaching the 6-month mark, and weve scheduled a salary review. Ive never re-negotiated salary before, so am in desperate need of advice! It will be me discussing with the co-owners of the company who have become a bit like older brother figures.Additionally, since starting I have learned that all perm staff were given the same extra 3-days leave I negotiated for. Can I bring that up in this negotiation? Yes, its something I was given... but all staff who joined after me I was the first permanent hire were just handed those days, meaning they didnt have to negotiate in that area. Edit: Im not complaining about this... I just put it here to give the full story. Please help, happy to give more information if you need.EditMore Info: I am a woman.. in a male-dominated field, and the only female in my company at present. The company is not in debt but is actively hiring, so I dont know how much that will impact cash flow. Equity is not an option - the only negotiables are time and salary. My role is predominantly internal, so metrics on billable hours, sales etc. are difficult to use to show ROI on my role.  <response>: If you got awesome benefits like working 30 less minutes a day, thats partial compensation for reduction in salary by itself.If everybody got the same 3 extra days, maybe you can just ignore that and call it a wash.You would be advised to focus more on your excellent job performance when reviewing the salary.
