Career coach Carla Santamaria shares how first-gen professionals can increase their salaries, navigate workplace systems, and set boundaries for better work-life integration. She reveals strategies that have helped her clients collectively increase their salaries by over half a million dollars since 2021.

• Understanding the four factors that determine your market rate: industry, location, function, and expertise level
• Learning to articulate and quantify your value with specific metrics and accomplishments
• Setting boundaries starts with small steps like taking your lunch break and creating after-work rituals
• Using phrases like "I am happy to take this on—what would you like me to deprioritize?" to manage workload
• Navigating family business dynamics requires clear physical boundaries and proactive communication
• Maximizing workplace benefits can include gym discounts, mental health resources, and education stipends
• First-gen professionals typically operate at higher levels of excellence—your 50% effort often exceeds others' 100%
