I hear this so loudly. But the best advice I have is to avoid any mention of your expenses. A pay raise is recognition of a job well done and has nothing to do with how you choose to spend your pay (speaking as the company here). Focus on your job performance, key accomplishments, client wins, etc. Are you in line for a promotion? If so and it’s been put off, use that.

Agreed. You don’t get a raise because you need more money, you get one because you deserve one based on your work and your value to the team. People screw this up all the time.

Avoid mention of any personal expenses, as GD1 said.

Yes, we talked about a promotion before maternity leave, and was put off while I was out. Time to make it happen. Thanks for the tip- will keep the personal motivation out of it.

I’m a scheduler in a major hospital, see my position in other departments being advertised as remote available. How can I successfully negotiate WFH? I’d like to cut down on my 44-mile one way commute.

Background: I’ve been in my position for 1 yr. I have 20 yrs military experience, bachelors in Business. I took an entry level $15/hour job to get my foot in the door. I’m actively looking for a promotion. But 44 miles plus gas & business casual clothing on $15/hour is killing me.

My boss also has me running a retired agents office until a new one is chosen (its an hour away with no pay increase or mileage pay). Also, no benefits! Should I start job searching?

HELP! When using other offers to negotiate salary, does the employer usually ask for proof of your other offers that you mentioned? I’m super new to this so I’m just curious.

Also, if they do ask to show proof, is that a red flag? Or is that pretty common? If so, I imagine I’d just block out the company name and stuff like that?
