Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, & Career Design Happen To Your Career

Listen to this before you ask for a raise! If you feel like you’re not being paid what you’re worth, it’s definitely time to ask for a raise. But there are a few things you need to know if you want the ask to go smoothly and successfully. Unfortunately, nobody teaches you how to raise your income — we don’t focus on it in schools and we certainly don’t learn about it at our jobs (at least not the easy way).
In this episode, Scott explains what you need to do before you ask for a raise, how to approach your boss with your ask, and how to make your request a win-win for you and your organization.
