How to Negotiate a Higher Salary in Your Current Job

You don't have to switch companies to earn more. A well-prepared internal raise conversation can be one of the highest returns on an hour of your time.

Build the business case

Document your results, added responsibilities and market value before you sit down with your manager.

Time it well

Raise the topic after a clear win or during review season, not during a crisis or a bad quarter.

Quick tips

  • Keep a running record of your wins
  • Benchmark your role against market pay
  • Request a dedicated meeting, not a hallway chat
  • Frame it around value delivered
