Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Seventy percent of the people who ask for a raise get one. Two-thirds of workers never ask.

You do solid work. You suspect you're underpaid, and lately you may even know it: a posted salary range, a new hire's offer, a number that didn't sit right. But the advice you keep hearing, know your worth, be confident, just ask, never tells you what to actually say on a Tuesday, or when, or to whom. So the conversation keeps not happening, and every year it doesn't happen quietly compounds against you.

This short, practical guide replaces courage with a method. A raise, it turns out, is granted twice: once by your manager, and once in a budget meeting you will never see. So you'll build the case that survives that second meeting. You'll price your job from posted salary ranges, keep a five-minute-a-week proof file, decide whether you're really asking for a raise or a promotion, and time the ask for the weeks when next year's money is still being decided. Then you'll run one calm, carefully worded script, in your own words, and know exactly what to say when the answer is "no budget" or "not the right time."

Inside this book:

- How raise decisions actually get made: merit pools, promotion budgets, equity adjustments, and which one your ask should draw from- A pricing method built on pay-transparency data: your anchor, your target, and your learning threshold- Ready-to-use scripts for the pre-ask, the sitting, and every standard pushback, each with rules for adapting it- Honest leverage: internal moves, real outside offers, and the counteroffer trap, with no bluffing anywhere- The four signs an employer will never pay you fairly, and what to do the day you spot the second one
