Double J Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Greetings, I've been working as a part-time intern now at my company for almost a year now. I started there in late January of 2006. The internship was slated to end in late July. HR formally offered me an extension until late December. Today I saw that they've once again offered me an extension until late March of 2007. I like working here very much, and for an intern, the pay is very good (considering many internships are unpaid). Since i've almost been here for a year, would it be appropritate to ask for a raise (even if it's a small one at that)? I could use advice from people here who have interned themselves. i'm not sure if it's the norm to give part-time interns a raise, especially since internships are normally temporary. But since this internship's duration keeps growing, I wonder if it would be/would not be appropriate for me to ask. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvursmile Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I dont think interns should ask for a raise. I interned during college, and I was always told it was not good to ask for a raise when youre just an intern. But then again, I've never heard of being an intern for a year...mine was like a few months. Do you go to U of Miami? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double J Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Thanks for the reply.. I don't attend UM but it isn't that far away. I agree that most internships are not as long as mine has been. If it was only maybe 3-6 months, asking for a raise would be ridiculous. But maybe since I've been there almost a year, it's more reasonable. More opinions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
