Can you phrase it like “I’ve been doing market research, understanding my value in the marketplace and think I’m worth XYZ based on XYZ factors and backed up by XYZ accomplishments.”

And in fact, recently have had offers that back this up

If you don’t want to resign, you’re taking a risk like you would in Vegas. They could always tell you what you don’t want to hear, and you don’t want to be in that position.

About a decade ago my CCO told me that’s the only way I could get a raise- by showing them that I had another offer at that level. I got the other offer and left

Agree with CW 1: you have to be ok with the possibility that they won’t want to retain you. In my experience, it’s not overtly common for employers to sweeten the pot after they know an employee wants to leave

Best way to approach raises in my experience has been to talk about your value and not numbers. Say you feel you’re contributing more value than you feel your being compensated for. Ask them to consider reevaluating your compensation and it doesn’t have to be just a salary raise. Framing value over dollars has gotten me significant raises in the past because I proved how I was contributing with work

Hi everyone!
I work at a big med tech company as product manager. I have multiple markets under my responsibility. I am turning 30 in few weeks and I hold an MBA.
Currently I am earning 73k gross yearly in Belgium. I feel that I settled for less than what this role could have given. What should I do? Is this a good average salary for product managers? I need to negotiate a raise but manager is greedy and difficult
Any advice is appreciated 👏
Thanks!!!

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around. Has anyone felt like they got held back from jumping firms every 2-3 years for the salary bump? I know peers that bounced around 2-4 times in a 7 year span and they are making significantly more money than if they stayed at their first job, however it didn’t seem like any of the new companies cared that they bounced around. Other experiences?

A month ago I gave my boss a formal letter requesting a review of my current job duties and a salary adjustment and title change. I’m performing at a senior level and not being paid for it. She agreed with the argument and submitted request to HR. Last week I asked her for an update and she casually said it will probably take three more months bc HR is so backed up and dropped it. I’m grossly underpaid and getting more tasks daily. What can I do? Can this be retroactive? I’m so fed up.

Hi All, I recently found that I was getting paid 10% lower(in base salary but all other things being equal) than another APM on the team. I found that I’m in fact the lowest paid on an all male APM team. Do y’all have suggestions on what I should be doing to build my case for a raise? How do I go about eliminating that this may not be some sort of discrimination but we’re getting paid based on merit? I haven’t received any feedback from my boss on my performance and shoulder equal responsibility
