Deep dives
Increase your leverage and participate in industry events
To break free from being held back by your last salary, try to increase your leverage in negotiations. Participate in industry events and network with professionals in your field. By building relationships and expanding your professional network, you may gain valuable insights and opportunities that can help you create new job roles or negotiate better terms. This way, the emphasis is less on your previous salary and more on the value you bring to the organization.
Have leverage and confidence in negotiations
When negotiating your salary, it is crucial to have leverage. Leverage can come from various factors such as your skillset, experience, or the specific value you bring to the organization. Having leverage allows you to confidently negotiate and ask for what you believe you deserve. By showing confidence in your abilities and the value you bring, you can have a stronger position in negotiating your salary.
Consider job hopping strategically and focus on growing within your current organization
Job hopping can be a viable strategy for increasing your salary, particularly if you have leverage and are in a position to negotiate. However, it's important to consider the growth opportunities within your current organization. Look for ways to expand your role, take on additional responsibilities, and seek out internal promotions. These actions can help you increase your salary in the long run by demonstrating your value and commitment to the company.
Recognize industry and company limitations
Understand that not all industries and companies have the same financial capabilities. Some industries may have higher margins and therefore can offer more competitive salaries, while others may be more constrained. Recognize the limitations of your industry and consider negotiating in other areas, such as additional benefits, increased job flexibility, or opportunities for professional development. Increasing your value beyond just monetary compensation can help offset limitations in certain industries.
