Salary Increment after Probation – How to Maximize Chances?
I joined my current company 3 months ago and I’m currently in a 6-month probation period. During the interview, the interviewer mentioned that salary increments after probation are rare, but there’s a slight chance if performance is exceptional.
I want to know — is there any practical way to maximize my chances for a salary hike after probation?
Also, would it be a good idea to search for new jobs and use an offer to negotiate a raise with my current company? Or would that backfire during the probation period?
Looking for advice from people who have faced similar situations. Please share your experiences!

Using an external offer to negotiate can be risky, especially during probation. Are you confident your company values your role enough to match an outside offer?
