Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Facts are facts. Present the information on what you do and be fair about it. It’s not bragging unless you put nonsense down that is expected details of your day to day job.
I agree!
Echoing EGA1 - be as objective as you can. Bring the receipts. Also remember, making yourself look good makes your boss look good, too.
Back it up with numbers, if that's possible. Try to show that you made a considerable difference in the outcome of projects. And weave in the theme that you've risen to challenges and you've grown in your job so your compensation should reflect that. Don't worry about bragging, it's what is required for the task.
I've been dealing with this recently as well, and being in am HR/Benefits role it's harder to track tangible metrics.
I made a tracker for my accomplishments and deliverables, this way I can also track work put into projects that were put on hold, and be able to have stats and timelines for each item.
I'm hoping it works well this year, and is something easy my manager can use to justify the work she sees and doesn't see me do - document everything, because facts don't lie.
Another thing to check is what the companies stance is on pay equity or rules in your state/province - this may also help with justifying a raise. Research the industry, your role and competitors to see what fair compensation looks like.
You got this!
