Episode 137: The Quickie: How to Get the Raise You Deserve



To quote our generation’s thought leader, Britney Spears: “You wanna live fancy? Party in France? You better work.” But also, you better ask for fair compensation. Just thinking about asking for a raise makes us cringe, but no one else is going to do it for us, so tits up: It’s time to start advocating for ourselves. 

The good news is, most managers and companies want to keep their employees happy, so this week we’re spilling the tea on everything you need to set yourself up for success. From shifting our mindset, tracking performance, and the scripts to use for your conversation, this is the official guide to getting a raise!

Join us as we chat about:

  • Unlearning imposter syndrome

  • How to tell if you’re being compensated fairly

  • Tracking your wins and collecting your performance receipts 

  • When to broach the conversation with your boss

  • Leveraging competitive opportunities 

  • Perfecting your pitch

  • Making the most of development opportunities

  • What you can negotiate in addition to your salary

We hope this helps you find the courage to confidently ask for what you deserve!
