Timing is everything. Washing your car 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 before it's about to rain, not a great idea... Washing it while it's raining; bold choice, but confusing. See, timing is 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 🚙 Same goes for salary negotiations. Knowing when and how to ask for a pay raise is crucial to your success! Here's when to ask: 🎯 After a successful project: Highlight your value as an employee. 📅 During performance reviews: Scheduled evaluations are great for talking about achievements and compensation. 💪 When getting new tasks and responsibilities: Your workload just got bigger, time to ask! Pro tip: set expectations. Inform your superior that you’re aiming for a pay increase and ask what specific actions, results, or achievements are required to earn it. That way, you can spend your time working on exactly the things you need to improve. And with that raise, you can finally pay someone else to wash your car 😉 #payraise #jobtips ******************************************** ☝️ We share career and recruitment tips & tricks ✌️ Follow us to spice up your feed with some recruitment wisdom 👉 Enjoying our content?

How do you determine the perfect timing for a pay bump? And is there such thing as perfect timing?

How much of a raise can you ask for? Let's answer that question today 🤑 On average, a pay raise is 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟱% 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟬% . Of course, there aren't any strict rulings, but it is always important to be realistic. When determining the amount you're going to ask, look at these things: 🔹Check what the average salary is for your position and sector You can do a salary check online, or look up vacancies that are similar to your position and see what salary range they offer. This can give you a better estimate of what you could (or should) be making. 🔹 Back it up with research and data Presenting data makes your case more credible. It shows that you have done your homework and are basing your request on objective facts rather than personal opinions or feelings. 🔹 Understand the company's financial situation Just lost a big client? Probably not a great time to ask. Reeled in a profitable project? Go for it! And most importantly, don't be afraid to negotiate! It shows your confidence and value. Trust us, every employer expects negotiations, so don't be scared to start that conversation. ******************************************** ☝️ We share career and recruitment tips & tricks ✌️ Follow us to spice up your feed with some recruitment wisdom 👉 Enjoying our content?
