What’s one thing to consider when asking for a raise? To get the money you deserve, you have to ask for it and explain why you deserve it. In a bad economy, wondering “When is the best time to ask for a raise?” is sort of like asking “When is the best time to buy a house?” The answer is, “Whenever you need a house!” So if you feel you need (and deserve) a raise, now is the best time.

โ๏ธ Come Into The Meeting Well-Prepared
Asking for a raise and salary negotiations are not something to be taken lightly! With every negotiation you initially complete with a new company, the rest of your salary increases are based directly on that number in most cases. You need to make sure it’s a salary that’s fair and worthy of the time you are sacrificing away from your family to go to a company and gift them 40+ hours each week.
Here are 5 key takeaways:
-
Identify your range, considerations of the proper range, and remember the lowest number is typically what recruiters remember.
-
Research the role, industry, and geographical pay rates on Glassdoor or Salary.
-
Figure out your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and value offerings that relate to the targeted role and re-emphasize this at the negotiation table.
-
Evaluate reasons to negotiate your salary (education, experience, skills, cost of living, multiple offers, etc.).
-
Discover ways to increase your perceived worth.
