First off, lets put this 1.2% annual raise junk aside. That is not a raise, that doesn't even keep up with inflation! Unless you make $500k per year, in which case you 1.2% raise is better than many of our take home pay!!
Alright, lets get going, give me some salary tips!
1. Ask for the raise, and ask HIGH
2. Answer your bosses first response with silence, and the classic line "is that really all you can do"
3. Bring a job offer from another company, this always gets em!
4. Ask for non-monetary raises (vacation time maybe?)
5. Cry
6. Don't Cry. Seriously
7. Show your accomplishments and the revenue impact on your business
8. Show market rate for comparable positions
9. Ask for a job title increase at least if there's a raise freeze (so you should get a double raise next time to make up for it)
10. Set goals for a short time period (month, quarter etc) and tie hitting them to salary raises
What are your favorite salary tips?
Seriously, don't cry. There's no crying in baseball!
