Do you ask for raises when you feel you deserve them or is it better to wait until your annual review?

It’s usually best to ask for a raise during formal review periods, when compensation decisions are already being evaluated. However, that doesn’t mean you should wait until then to start building your case.

Throughout the year, make a point to keep your manager informed about the additional responsibilities and contributions you’re taking on, especially anything that goes beyond your core job scope. These ongoing updates help create a clear record of your impact.

Keep in mind that most managers need to justify raises and promotions to senior leadership. The more concrete examples they have of your contributions, the easier it is for them to advocate on your behalf.

It’s also important to have regular check-ins, whether weekly or monthly. to stay aligned on your performance. Use these conversations to ask for feedback, understand how you’re doing, and identify any areas for improvement. This not only helps you grow but ensures there are no surprises when review time comes around.
