<prompt> Human: Excuse the socially awkwardness but how would the conversation go? Like how would you first mention it, bring it up, and not make it uncomfortable. What are the actual phrases, words, that you would use to negotiate for a raise in this situation?This is assuming you like where you work, what you do, who you work with, but feel really underpaid and am underpaid because theres someone else willing to pay more for your time.  <response>: Ive been through this as the person with the offer and as a manager.1 - If youre good, your job will try to keep you. As a manager, its much easier for me to work this through HR when you have an offer, and it provide impetus for action obviously, this varies depending on the size of your company, etc.2 - Be prepared for the job to say no or in a few months. And know what youre probably going to do beforehand. My company offered with a pretty significant raise, promotion, etc, but the new offer and environment was simply too good.3 - I would focus on your contributions and your value that you bring to the organization. Then work on the compensation, market value, etc.
