Navigating Getting Declined for a Raise
When faced with a declined raise, it is crucial to do the pre-work and gather market research on the value of your current role and salary. This includes using websites like salary.com and Glassdoor, as well as talking to external recruiters. It is important to be armed with up-to-date information on the market rate for your position. Additionally, it is essential to make a strong case for the raise based on your work product, projects, and performance evaluations. If you discover that your coworkers are earning more or that there is gender pay disparity, set up a meeting and push back. It is not enough to accept a 'no' without advocating for yourself. During the conversation, confidently state the number you believe you should be making and ask how you can work towards that goal. Avoid unnecessary explanations or justifications for your request.
