The best possible case that your boss can make on your behalf is that they’ll end up spending more to replace you if you leave.

Leverage helps, it usually comes in the form of an offer letter from another agency.

Otherwise ask for a lot i guess, but as a business it’s hard to meet your demands if there are no consequences for not doing so.

Create a presentation of your best work. Include projects that were particularly successful from the agency’s perspective. Remember: the higher ups don’t know what you do. You need to show them what you’ve done.

Your boss wants you to do their job?? I'm not sure if they're down or bullshitting you..
Ftr, account management has nothing to do with approving your salary/raise - that's not even the same department.

You mean in finance or account? What is the push back? Can the account not currently support you at a higher level based on negotiated retainer or scope? When is that renegotiated? Depending on who your boss needs to convince it doesn’t sound like an issue of proving you deserve the next role it’s proving they can pay you at the next role? And if you deserve promo, why does your boss need your help selling it? What is he/she looking for?

Sit with your account lead. Understand your billable rate as it relates to your salary. Understand the health of the business and your impact there. And understand the growth trajectory of the business

You don’t have to help your boss craft an argument to convince suits. His job is to look out for your career. If it’s time for a raise that’s his responsibility. Stay or quit based on the results

Considering offer as assistant controller at a small HF shop. Currently audit A2, will be promoted to S1 this Summer, and in HCOL market. No CPA.

Haven't gotten the details yet, but recruiter sent me for 95-100 base, expecting ~20% annual bonus, full medical dental, free lunch and gym FWIW.

Is this low? Is it worth sticking around 1 more year as senior for potentially better? The position has a lot of growth potential, as the shop is quickly expanding. What other factors do I consider?
