I'm also dealing with this right now. I don't know if it will work or not, but one thing I mentioned was that due to inflation, they are paying me less now than they did when I had less experience in the role...which is just dreadful.
I’m in that situation now too. We have some new people who just joined the department who are probably starting higher than I am so I am going to bring that up along with accomplishments.
I always liked it when people were straight forward and discussed how their work warranted it. Don’t talk about what other people are making or inflation. If you regularly discuss “How do I get ahead” with your boss then you should have a roadmap and it’s a comfortable thing to talk about. Don’t stew about it for years, ask what you need to do to make more money. Also timing is everything. If you ask right after budget is set for the next year it will be more difficult. If you don’t know when timing is best for your company ask about that too! Hoping someone is just going to offer you more money especially in difficult times would be a pretty rare occurrence.
