When I worked, I got a raise 80% of the time that I asked for one. Raised my salary by over 235%.

First, a pro tip: All of these techniques assume one thing:
You don& #39;t just "want" a raise. You DESERVE a raise.
You& #39;re asking for more money because you deliver value commensurate with the pay that you& #39;re asking for.
Let& #39;s go.

Let& #39;s go.
1: Don& #39;t ask too early.
If you just got the job three months ago, don& #39;t ask for a raise unless your responsibilities have increased *drastically*.
Nothing annoys bosses more than raise requests BEFORE you& #39;ve proven yourself.

Things to NEVER say:

3: Say the right things.
Have you worked overtime all year?
Did you deliver an impossible project on-time?
Did you earn the company an additional $2m in revenue?
EXACTLY why do you deserve a raise?

4: Pick the right time.
If your company is struggling financially, don& #39;t ask for more money. That& #39;s a great way to get your boss to secretly disrespect you.
If you& #39;re underpaid and the company is failing, FIND A NEW COMPANY.
