Because yes, there are better times than others to address this kind of thorny questions. While the assessment interview often seems like the best time to get started, you can also request a separate interview if that makes you more comfortable. In particular, take advantage of the anniversary date of your arrival in the company. Note also that you never ask for a raise before you have at least 1 year of seniority in your box.
To bring up the subject of salary with your boss, whether he is listening or the annoying type, you must be very prepared.
1) Know where you are in the job market:Find out about your salary level in relation to your age, experience, sector of activity...
2) Armor your argument:list your remarkable achievements, your goals achieved, your risk taking, anything that can make you stand out.
3) Make it Dream:Show your boss all the good you're going to bring to the company in the future. If you can quantify the successes you will generate, even better.
4) Anticipate his objections:and know how to discuss them constructively, without aggression or confrontation.
Finally, during your interview, be reasonable about your request. Avoid quantifying the increase, which could antagonize your interlocutor. Rather, evoke a fork. And above all, no threats, blackmail or ultimatums:you are not Robert De Niro! Prefer sentences that hit the mark.
Despite your talent as a negotiator, your boss refuses to grant you this well-deserved raise. Offer compromises! Depending on your case, ask for a bonus, benefits in kind, training, the improvement of your working conditions... Otherwise, think about converting to a more lucrative job!
