How to get a pay rise? 📈💰

I know that "selling yourself" and speaking about money is difficult.

Here are 5 Tips to help you with that:🧵

1. Ask the right person at the right time

Never bypass your manager. They are the first person to convince. Make them your ally to negotiate with the top management.

Don’t wait until the end of the year, as the budget for rises will already be allocated!

2. Let others know you do good work!

Write a summary of your impact and your contribution to value creation. You can lean on it during your 1:1 with your manager.

Evidence of your successes will make the discussion easier.

3. Know what you want and what you’re worth

You need to clearly set out your desired rise, why you want it, and what’s your value on the market.

Start by asking your network, e.g., Twitter, colleagues, people you know, or friends in other companies.

Additionally...👇

4. Read salary reports to have a better understanding of the current market.

For example, @talent_io’s salary report is particularly interesting: join.talent.io/tech-salary-re…
