I have my appraisal soon. I am doing well in my job but am at the top of the pay grade, although the job I am now doing is a new job for this sector and there isn't really a comparable role. I would like to ensure that I don't miss out on increments going forward and also feel it would be appropriate to have a modest increase in my pay.
The trouble is I think I have "imposter syndrome" and having negotiated a huge pay rise since starting in my original role and moving to this one two years ago, I now feel almost bad asking for more money! My boss is fair and easy to talk to but I want a way of bringing up the subject without seeming grabby or greedy. Can anyone advise please?
