Subject: Request for Salary Increase for Senior Graphic Designer Role at Adobe
Dear [Manager’s Name],
I am writing to discuss the compensation for my role as a Senior Graphic Designer at Adobe. As a highly skilled and experienced professional in the field, I believe that I have added significant value to the company over the past few years, and I am hoping to negotiate a salary increase to reflect my contributions and market value.
Currently, my salary stands at $89,000, which is below the market rate for a Senior Graphic Designer with my level of experience and skillset. I have received a competing job offer from Meta for a salary of $125,000, which has prompted me to explore my options and discuss the possibility of a salary increase with you.
I would like to stress that my desire to negotiate my salary is not just based on the competing job offer, but on my contributions to Adobe as well. Over the past few years, I have consistently demonstrated my expertise in creating innovative and effective graphic designs, which have contributed to the company’s growth and success. I have also taken on additional responsibilities, mentored junior designers, and have received positive feedback from colleagues and clients.
In light of the above, I have done some research on market rates for Senior Graphic Designers in the industry, and I have found that the average salary for this role ranges between $100,000 to $140,000. I believe that my experience, skills, and contributions to the company justify a salary increase to reflect the market rates.
I am open to discussing a mutually agreeable salary increase that reflects my contributions and the market rate for my role. I understand that there may be concerns about the company's budget, and I am willing to work with you to address any potential objections. I am committed to continuing to contribute to the company's growth and success, and I believe that a salary increase would help to retain my talent and boost morale.
Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to discussing this matter with you soon.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
