How do I politely tell my company that if they don’t give me a raise, I’m leaving? Or is this never a good idea? I’m pretty damn confident I deserve a raise, and they can’t afford to lose me my position right now. Just not willing to do a busy season at my current pay

Why not look for a new job to see that you can even get a better package?

If you do, then you can either leave or try to use the offer as leverage for higher pay, although this might sour your relationship with your current company. If you can't find anything better, then now you know you're getting paid market rate and don't have a leg to stand on.

As others have said, it would be wise to have another offer in hand to use as negotiating leverage. You need to be actually willing to leave if you go to negotiate and they say no.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
