If you’ve been paying your dues at your job for while now, you might want to consider the dreaded “raise” conversation. It’s terrifying to initiate, but the payoff can be so good! If you’ve got no idea where to start when it comes for asking for more money, here are some things you might want to keep in mind: 

  • Keep your expectations realistic, and know how much other people in your position are making as well.
  • Have the cold, hard facts about how valuable you are to the company and the accomplishments you’ve made.
  • Practice your speech in the mirror. No, seriously.
  • Consider the timing of your conversation. Is the company in a good position to give its employees raises?
  • If the raise doesn’t work out, try asking for a bonus – especially now that it’s the holiday season.

 There’s no easy way to jump into a conversation about money with your boss. But know your worth people! If you’ve been hard at it for quite some time now, it might be time your paycheck started showing it!
