ask-for-a-raise

0upvotes

Build and deliver a raise request that actually works — the evidence, the number, the timing, and the exact words — instead of hoping it gets noticed. Use when asked how do I ask for a raise, I deserve more money, prepare me to ask for a raise, or negotiate a pay increase at my job. Produces a value case built on your actual contributions and market rate, a specific target number with justification, the right timing and person, a script for the conversation, and responses to the likely pushbacks — turning 'I want more' into a business case your manager can say yes to.

# Ask for a Raise

Raises rarely come from working hard and waiting to be noticed — they come from making a clear case at the right time to the right person. Most people either never ask or ask badly ("I've been here a while and could use more money"). This builds the version that works: evidence of your value, a specific justified number, good timing, the words to say, and answers to the pushback. It's a business case, not a plea.

## What This Skill Produces

- **Your value case** — your actual contributions, results, and added responsibilities, framed as value delivered (not effort spent)
- **A target number** — a specific ask backed by your market rate and contribution, not a vague "a raise"
- **Timing & audience** — when to ask (after a win, at review cycles, not during bad times) and who actually decides
- **The conversation script** — how to open, state the ask, and hold, in words you'd actually say
- **Pushback responses** — answers to "there's no budget," "not right now," "the market's tough," and how to get a concrete path if it's a no
