I recently landed a position as a Quality Assurance Engineer (2 months in). This is not new to me as I have been in the field for nearly 5 years. The hard place I’m in now, is that the tasks I am performing are of a Project Management nature, and there is talk of me heading up a newly created department within the organization. I am still in my probational period and don’t want to ruffle any feathers if I don’t have to. My question for the TechRepublic folk is: How and when would be the appropriate time and way to approach my management about this issue? I recently took another look at my job description, and there is not one item that I currently perform. In addition to a new job description as a CYA how do I approach additional compensation for my new found career path? Any suggestions are welcome.
