Issue #8 (How To Ask for a Raise) 04/08/19
A reader on Hacker News asked the question How do I ask for a raise? It's worth reading the whole thread if this is something you've found challenging, but here are some interesting answers:
"By far the best way to get a raise is to find a new job that you think you will like as much or more than your current job and take it."
"Gather evidence FOR paying you more... Gather evidence AGAINST paying you more, and prepare to refute it."
"Rather than stating that you have another offer, you can research what people in your field are making. When I asked for a raise, I put together charts and graphs of what people are making in the industry in order to justify the raise."
I like that last bit of advice, and it should work well as long as your boss isn't Michael Scott.
