Timing Is Everything: When to Ask for That Raise 📈

They say, 'If you don't ask, you don't know,' but when's the right time to ask for that well-deserved raise? Let's break it down:

💼 When Your Responsibilities Have Grown but Not Your Pay: Have you ever felt like your role expanded from what you were initially hired for? I know the feeling. My journey took me from a Writer to a Manager, juggling interns, Partnerships, Campaigns, Content, and Strategy. If your to-do list keeps growing, and your paycheck remains the same, it's a sign.

💪 Ask When You Know You Deserve It: The cliché is true. I asked for a raise when I knew, without a doubt, that I deserved it. The burning candles at both ends, with months of 8 am to 12 am shifts, were sending me into burnout territory. Before the conversation, I meticulously documented my tasks and the results they brought. It reached a point where I was invaluable to my boss – someone he couldn't afford to lose too quickly.

🚀 When You've Stopped Learning: You Deserve More - Raise or New Job: As a firm believer in continuous growth, I knew I deserved more when my learning curve hit a plateau, and yet the workload kept growing. Let's be clear – raises shouldn't equate to more work; they're compensation for your expertise. So, I started looking for opportunities that offered almost 20% more for the same work in a fresh environment. A double win.

Remember, you're your best advocate when it comes to earning what you're worth. When you've ticked these boxes, it's time to have that conversation. Your hard work should never go unnoticed or unrewarded. 💰👔
