Your coworker who makes $20K more than you isn't better at the job. They’re better at leverage. Here's what they did that you didn't: They interviewed at 3 other companies while employed. Got 2 offers. Took the best one to your boss. Got a counter-offer that beat it. Here's why this works: Without an offer: "I think I deserve more" = your opinion (ignored) With an offer: "Someone valued me at $____" = market data (requires response) I've overseen $40M+ in production budgets. Here's what happens in those VP conversations: Manager: "Sarah wants a $15K raise." VP: "Does she have another offer?" Manager: "No." VP: "Give her 3%. If she's really unhappy, she'll leave and we'll replace her." vs. Manager: "Sarah has an offer for $95K. We're paying her $80K." VP: "Can we afford to lose her right now?" Manager: "No. The big campaign launches in 6 weeks." VP: "Match it." The framework (4 steps): 1 Get real offers - Interview at 2-3 companies. Don't bluff. Actually get written offers. 2 Pick your timing - Use this leverage when they CAN'T afford to lose you (mid-project, before launch, during peak season). 3 Use this script: "I've received an offer for $____. I'd prefer to stay here, but I need to match the market rate. Can we make that work?" 4 Be ready to walk - If they don't match or get close, take the other offer. If they call your bluff and you stay, you'll never have leverage again. Copy/paste script for the conversation: "Quick heads up, I've been approached about a role at [company] offering $____. I'm not actively looking, but the comp is significantly higher than where I'm at now. I love working here and would prefer to stay, but I need to be realistic about market rates. Is there room to adjust my comp to match?" What this does: • Frames it as external market forces, not "I want more money" • Gives them a clear number to respond to • Shows you're valuable elsewhere (social proof) • Positions you as loyal but not desperate The truth nobody tells you: Companies don't pay what you're worth. They pay the minimum required to keep you. The people making more figured out how to raise that minimum. #career #raises

Performance alone doesn’t always get you promoted. Visibility does. A recruiter’s “corporate truths” just went viral and I have to push back on one of them. The claim? Staying at your company only gets you a 3% raise and loyalty won’t pay your bills. That’s not the full story. I negotiated a 23% raise while staying in a role I loved. Same company. Same boss. No job hopping required. What actually matters is knowing your market value and having the confidence to ask for what you’re worth. Most people accept whatever raise they’re offered because they don’t know how to negotiate or they’re too scared to try. But negotiation isn’t just a nice-to-have skill. It’s how you stop settling for mediocre raises and start getting paid what you deserve. This video breaks down why the “just job hop” advice misses a crucial option and how to negotiate better pay without leaving a job you actually enjoy. Ready to develop the skill that changed my career? Watch this. Follow for more strategies that give you real options. #negotiation #salarynegotiation #careeradvice #corporatelife #professionaldevelopment #careertips #raises #promotions #careercoach

If you aren’t tracking your own metrics at work then you are letting your boss tell your story for you! Recency bias is real and you’ve accomplished too much to get 2% raises, okay?! Take back your power by tracking your own metrics with the free metrics tracker at my link in bio! If you missed my class, you can also grab the replay where I teach you how to track your own metrics and best practices if your boss tries to play in your face about your raise 😏 #corporate #career #chicagocontentcreator #careeradvice #corporatelife #education #raises #moneymoves

Getting a raise can sometimes be a weird process… leaving your current shop to get paid more? How can shops give raises fairly without techs having to threaten or actually quit their position?
