Asking for a #raise can be nerve-racking. But after all that you’ve invested in your success, you deserve the reward of a promotion. MasterStart will help you make your next #paycheck the BIGGEST yet! Read below to find our top tips!

STEP 1: DO YOUR #RESEARCH. Find out how much your experience & #skills are actually worth. Find a pay-range by looking at your role in different companies & cities. Make a list of your #accomplishments and responsibilities so that you can back up your proposal with the real #data

STEP 2: MAKE THE REQUEST. Start with a short, #assertive email. Organise to meet with your manager in person to review your #salary and clearly express how you’ve excelled in your current role. Go into the one-on-one with an idea of your desired increase or a roundabout figure.

STEP 3: BRACE FOR IMPACT. Expect some #feedback and follow-up questions. This part can be quite intimidating, so if your knees start to buckle, always return to your #evidence. There’s always the possibility that you may be rejected, but if you never try, you’ll never know.
