Quotes to ponder:

"They can’t shoot you for asking."

"The best time to ask for a raise is right after you have just done something great for the company, such as solving a big problem, landing a major client, or saving the company money."

"It can be easy to procrastinate for months (or even years!) if you’re uncomfortable selling yourself, but no one else is going to advocate for you."
