episode 81: 81: How To Ask For A Raise
I had just got a Director position at 24. I was doing 2 jobs and increased fundraising numbers by 500%... I knew I deserved a raise.
I asked my immigrant parents, “How do you ask for a raise?”
They responded, “Just work hard. You’ll get a raise.”
I knew that was not how it worked, so I learned to ask for a raise using these 7 steps.
And guess what!? I got my $12k raise!
Even better, these steps have helped clients land anywhere from $25k salaries to a $300k job!
Asking for a raise is like the DTR talk (Define the Relationship) talk with your employer.
Do they see your worth and value?
And if you don't receive the raise, it will empower you to realize it’s time to leave.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- The 7-Step Guide to Asking for a Raise
- What to Do If You Don't Get a Raise
- The Importance of Advocating for Yourself
