How do you start off a conversation to ask for an out of cycle raise? I’ve been taking on more and more responsibilities and I think I have decent points for why I deserve one. I’m just nervous to start the conversation. Any tips?

If you've got a good case to make, and it sounds like you do, just find an opening. Or make one. If you wrap up a project that's been dumped on you, when you talk to your boss about it bring up that you should be getting a compensation bump. There must be a way for you to manufacture an opening to broach the subject.

I actually did this at the end of last year. I went to my boss and was very honest and straightforward. I made the case for why I should be paid more and she made it happen.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
