Did you know only 45% of workers feel adequately paid but 50% still aren’t comfortable discussing salary in the workplace? What’s more, research from Zippia also found that those willing to discuss their compensation with co-workers are more likely to say that they expect a sizable raise. This is why today’s episode is dedicated to these uncomfortable conversations. Today, you’ll learn from career coach Merete Fields why and how you should ask someone what they earn.   Weekly Newsletter Sign-Up: http://bit.ly/37hqtQW Follow Career Contessa: http://bit.ly/2TMH2QP   Merete Fields: https://bit.ly/3JtXwo4 Merete’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meretefields Asking For A Raise 101: https://bit.ly/3q7GYKO   Sponsors: MasterClass: https://bit.ly/3JKn5ky ShipStation: https://bit.ly/3rwZL2i   Produced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
