How do I discuss pay raise with my employer?

Search online to collect data about the current Market Rate for your job, to compare to your current compensation. List out your accomplishments in your current role. Don’t overlook anything.

It’s not only about talking and asking. Do your research first. List your title and responsibilities. Search online to collect data about the current Market Rate for your job, to compare to your current compensation. List out your accomplishments in your current role. Don’t overlook anything. Who you helped. What you fixed. What you created. When you went the extra mile. When you finished project ahead of schedule. Who you Trained. When everything is ready, schedule a meeting to discuss your information, at a time convenient to your boss. If you work in a larger corporation, understand that decisions about salaries may not be directly under the control of your boss. He/she is accountable to HR and company policies and budgets. But, your preparation will either help your boss, or give him/her something to bring to the others attention. Also your preparation speaks well of your maturity and leadership skill.

Perfection is a red flag for me. No way, nobody is. If someone is too good to be true, it’s not true. Manipulators are excellent at molding themselves to exactly what they think you want.

Perfection is a red flag for me. No way, nobody is. If someone is too good to be true, it’s not true. Manipulators are excellent at molding themselves to exactly what they think you want. You will never know who they really are, and after having done so much for you they might feel like you owe them something, and you just might feel like you do too- and that’s how they reel you in. It’s also harder to leave someone who you think is absolutely perfect- you remember how great it was in the beginning, and you miss and want that, so you try your hardest to get it back. After investing so much time to making it work, it’s harder to leave. Nobody is perfect, and if they’re trying to make you believe they are it could just be a harmless case of insecurity, or it could be something else lurking below the surface. Patience and understanding are honorable traits, but they’re never, ever upset, even when the situation warrants it, that’s not a good sign. If they’re not speaking up about what’s bothering them that will inevitably get in the way of honest dialogue later. You can only keep things in for so long before they start to cause a problem.
