hi, i am scheduled to have my first performance eval tomorrow at my company. i have been here for about 10 months. my pm knows i will be asking for a raise, just wanted some advice on how to go about this. TC - 75000 current title - SWE 1 yoe - 10months loc - san diego average entry level salary at my company is 70k. i have also recvd security clearance and for my company (dept of def contractor) that is a huge plus. any advice and as well how much compensation should I ask for? i am thinking about 90-95k. thanks
You can make 200k+ in DOD. Its about the role. Clearances have value.
The people making 200k+ in dod could be making 400k+ elsewhere working on more interesting things. Like I said...
Not everyone will make 400k. Sure its great to strive for the best. Be realistic too.

So hard being a women in tech industry
Get out of dod as quickly as you can. Your peers elsewhere are making six figures.
6 figures isnt shit by the way. New grads pull 200k+ at top tech companies. For industry hires you have to slave away and job hop to move up. Going from 80k to 200k could take a few years. Set that as a goal.
