I've just receieved my final year results so next step is graduation. I was just wondering is it normal to expect a significant pay rise now that I am actually qualified. I've been working full-time for the past 2 years while finishing my degree part-time. Would this be purely at the discretion of the employer and would they possibly give a pay rise based on the grade awarded? I have to inform my employer upon receipt of my results so I'd like to know how best to approach them, i.e. "I got my degree so I feel I am worth €xxx now, etc". Any advice much appreciated.
