How do I negotiate a salary increase?
assistant
You can start by researching the average salary for similar positions in your area, then setting a clear and realistic goal. You should also be prepared to explain why you deserve a raise, highlighting your accomplishments and taking time to explain any new skills or responsibilities you have taken on. When you're ready to negotiate, be sure to be confident, courteous, and confident in the value you bring to the company. Have an idea of what you are willing to settle for, and don't forget to be prepared to walk away if necessary.
