How to Ask for a Raise: Say This to Your Boss


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I are tackling an awkward conversation: asking for a raise. We know how terrifying it can feel to sit down and tell your boss you deserve more money, especially when you’re worried about being a "bother" or, worse, putting a target on your back. But you shouldn’t have to do the work of three people while only being paid for one. We’re here to help you navigate these high-stakes conversations with confidence and a clear plan.

This week, we are talking about:

  •   The psychology of why asking for more is so scary
  •   How to know if you’re actually ready and deserving
  •   The "long game" roadmap for securing a raise
  •   Setting concrete milestones with your manager
  •   How to determine the right dollar amount or percentage
  •   The best (and worst) times to have the conversation
  •   What to do if your request gets shut down
  •   Leveraging outside offers without burning bridges

Listen in to help us, help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
