Episode notes
Benchmark Your Market Salary
- Use Seek and Hays to benchmark your role and region before asking for a raise.
- Cross-reference careers.gov but expect slightly older, lower ranges and explain that to your boss.
Talk To The Decision-Maker
- Identify who actually controls pay and budget before you request a raise.
- Talk to the decision-maker or get your manager to advocate if they lack budget authority.
Set A Formal Performance Meeting
- Book a formal 30-minute meeting and frame it as a performance discussion.
- Email examples: request time, say you want feedback, and mention goals so it isn't just about money.
