I primed a conversation with my boss around pay equity to attempt to get a larger raise for myself and get a promotion/pay increase for one of my direct reports. Wish me luck and I’m open to any tips you may have for this convo. It’s weird, this is the first time I’ve felt anxious approaching this discussion.

Any thoughts?

Good for you! And so awesome you did that for one of your direct reports too. I totally get the anxiety, it’s a big step. One tip is to come prepared with specific examples of your achievements and those of your direct report, and be ready to tie it to how it benefits the company. Also, try to stay calm and focus on the value you bring to the team rather than relying too heavily on the equity portion.

Good advice. Thank you for this. I expect the second conversation to happen in a few weeks. My direct report should be good, I already have HR aligned with the promotion and raise, I think I need to make a stronger argument for myself though.

Should I not consider this at all if they don't at least match my base? I have been aiming for £70k-£80k when looking at new jobs
