1. Know your worth: Do your homework and gather info about industry standards and salaries, so you can highlight your value without sounding like a broken record.

2. Play to your strengths: Shine the spotlight on your achievements and show how your exceptional skills and dedication have positively impacted the company's bottom line.


3. Timing is everything: Make sure your request doesn't fall on deaf ears. Choose a suitable moment. Avoid catching your boss in a rush or during their coffee break to increase the chances of a receptive ear.

4. Keep it classy: Professionalism is crucial. Stay positive, maintain a calm demeanor, and don't let emotions cloud your judgment. You want to be seen as a confident and level-headed negotiator.

5. End on a high note: Regardless of the outcome, express gratitude for the opportunity to discuss your concerns, overall growth and future opportunities within the company.

6. Leave personal matters at the door: Keep the focus on professional matters and the value you bring to the table. Avoid bringing personal problems into the discussion as it can dilute your message .
