What are the best ways to negotiate one's salary? Ideally time it right after a successful campaign or project?

it's hard to negotiate at ones current agency. it's much easier to get a significant number by going across town.

and that is what is fueling all the churn in the industry right now. why stay when you can jump ship for more money. loyalty is not rewarded.
stepping off my soap box.

Probably depends on your role.

There have been a few POVs on this on FB. Learned that many agencies present and commit to a raise during review to prevent awkward negotiations. If this sounds like your agency's MO, then give your boss your magic number right before your review. If it coincides with the completion of a good campaign or signing a large SOW, even better.

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there.

Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
