What’s the best angle to approach a pay rise as someone who’s never asks for one before?

I try to go in with optimism, but receipts. I ask for what I want and then justify it based on the work I've done, the metrics I've hit, my attendance record and ways I've gone above and beyond… You may need to justify your raise, so come prepared.

Yes I think I need to get proof in order before I go for the chat.

If you're going to ask for a raise, make it about yourself and about your progress in the job. Have some facts handy to show how you've grown in the job and you're a more valuable employee than you were a year or two ago. Too many people make a case that's not about them, they argue about cost of living or what someone else is making. That's usually an ineffective strategy. Stand on your own accomplishments and how you've grown in the position.

Okay cool, I’ll try this in my next meeting and see if I can make it work thank you!

I would focus on a clear ask and justification for why you deserve it given your past performance

Cheers, I think I need to get my reasons in order.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
