Ask for a Raise and Actually Get It

Proof document, timing, and a script that isn't 'I deserve more'

45 min4 photographed stepsIntermediate

High-stakes career method: build a one-page wins list with numbers, pick the right quarter, rehearse a 90-second ask, handle 'not now' with a date, and know when to walk. No entitlement speech — evidence, market range, and calm follow-up. One conversation that can pay for years of subscriptions.

What you'll learn

  • Wins with metrics beat feelings every time
  • Ask after a win or at review — not mid-crisis
  • Script: contribution → market → ask → pause
  • If no: get written next review date and targets

One-page wins with numbers
01One-page wins with numbers

List 6–10 outcomes: revenue touched, time saved, bugs fixed, clients kept, projects shipped. Prefer % or $ over adjectives.

Add one line: new responsibilities since last raise. Print or PDF — manager can forward it.

Market range, not a wish
02Market range, not a wish

Find 2–3 credible comps for your title and city. Pick a specific ask inside the range — usually mid to high if you have proof.

Write the number down. Saying 'more money' in the room fails.

Pro tip. Levels.fyi, Blind ranges, recruiter screens — triangulate, don't cherry-pick one outlier.
