Do You Want to Be a Nobraner?

You want to be in a position six months from now where an x dollar raise or compensation is a nobrainer. Your boss will tell you what is expected of the role above you, such that if you're doing it, it's a no braner. You also want to make sure you have champions from every direction. This goes back to being a great performer and forming authentic connections everywhere. Finally, something that i've noticed, and people have told me, is that when they negotiate for their promotion or their rais they get defensive,. They end a positioning the conversation as a threat, where if they aren't given this thing, they will leave.
