Want a raise (and think I deserve it), but I’m pregnant (haven’t told work yet. We’re 100p remote). I want to go get another job offer to get them to act, but don’t have intentions of actually leaving. Advice on how to handle that?

Never bluff with another job. Even if they give you what you want they will always see you as having one foot out the door.

Ask for a higher salary based on your value and what the market rate salary is for your role. If they don’t give it to you then leave after you have the baby. Congrats!

That can be tricky because they can call your bluff and say best of luck.
Can you try to justify to them a raise is necessary without going that route? (Based on your performance, added respond, etc.)

Better to have the internal conversation, use industry averages and come prepared with what you’ve done to merit a raise.

Times are tough for a lot of people looking for jobs, having an offer in hand only takes from those who need a job and there’s plenty of ways to have a discussion about a raise without a competing offer.

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience). I was told I am one of the top employees in the firm. When I asked about a raise, I was told “when you think about it at your level 5k to 10k doesn’t really matter it’s the long term goal that matters”. What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?
