Show Me the Money! Navigating Pay Increase Conversations in the Corporate World

Listen Later

THIS IS WHAT TO BRING TO THE CONVERSATION ABOUT ASKING FOR A RAISE:

  • Approach the conversation with your “progress report”, (for example working in social you can refer to the business goals/objectives/what you’ve been tasked with and show the data behind what you’ve done) - Your manager is looking to determine the ROI on the work you’re doing
    • Be respectful, polite, and patient in the convo. Try not to be super nervous and emotional 

      • IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DESERVE MORE MONEY, USE THESE TIPS AS EVIDENCE:

      • Do some research on average salaries, you can use ⁠Indeed’s salary calculator⁠ or ⁠Glassdoor ⁠to determine your worth! 
        • Ask people in your field, or coworkers what they’re making (we love income transparency).
          • Blame it on the economy and inflation and say that is a reason to raise your rates!
            • You could see what other companies are offering for similar positions, and respectfully share to your current company that you'll be applying to those if they don’t give you a raise.

              • IF THEY CAN’T GIVE YOU MORE MONEY FOR WHAT YOU’RE CURRENTLY DOING BUT YOU STILL WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY, HERE’S HOW:

              • Offer to do more! If you’re only doing organic social, maybe you offer to do paid. If you’re only doing Facebook/Instagram, mention the brand showing up on TikTok or another social outlet.
