What are your best practices for negotiating a salary raise. I’m looking for a bump from 63k to 75. I have all of my stats and supporting documentation but I need help with structure and how to go about the conversation. Thanks!

If you want $75K, you may want to ask for $78K to leave room for their counter negotiation.

There are templates online to help, but I would just be direct as possible and and something like this -

Since joining the firm I have become a valuable member of the team taking on additional work from others, leading meetings, blah blah blah use your own examples here. With that said, I would like to have a discussion about a salary review or merit increase.

They’ll probably said for more specific examples. Be prepared with those. Then they’ll ask if you had a number in mind, i would try to turn the question back on them and say “given all the value I add (assuming they seem in agreement with your above points), what do you think would be a reasonable merit increase would be? Avoid saying a number first if you can but if you have to, I would shoot for $15k and hopefully you’ll land close to what you want.

If you were unaware, a salary review is when they take a look at comparable people at the company and look at their salaries vs yours and give you an increase if you’re significantly lower. I did this once when I suspected I was paid less than some men at my firm - resulting in over a $10k bump. I’m pretty sure legally, a firm has to do this.

Good luck!

Having the supporting documentation is great. Have a compelling story and demonstrate your value proposition, so to speak.

You got this. Go in like you don’t need the money but that you’ve earned it. 💪🏾

Lead with your value, give specific examples in #, conclude with your request for increase in %.
