Awesome read Jason, thanks for writing it. I do have one question, say if you moved into a different job (at the same company) but never received a raise in compensation. How would you approach asking for a raise?

That can be one of those no-mans-land areas.

If one was promised as part of the transfer then you should send a quick email just following up. Also most a reminder that part of the transfer included a raise.

If one was not promised, you might have to do a little more to present your case on why you deserve a raise - more responsibilities, higher skilled labor, etc.
