Class Year/Salary Question

Post by newb611 » Mon Jul 10, 2017 9:41 pm

Stupid question but when does a salary increase to the next "step" generally take place? Say you start working in September 2017 at $180K -- does the increase to $190K take place a year after your start (so, Sept. 2018), or not until January 2019?

Most firms I know of do it on January 1. So yes, in your scenario it would be 190 starting January 1, 2019.

September to January is considered your "stub" year. Your real first year starts in January.
