I want to get a raise at work.

Before you ask for a raise at work, make sure you have the right reasons and you are prepared to negotiate it properly. Identify the value you bring to your workplace, know your current salary and what you would like to be earning, and be sure to make the case for why you deserve a raise. Additionally, you should understand the company’s budget and have a plan on how to use the extra funds. It's also important to have the right attitude going into the negotiation process. Focus on building strong, positive relationships with your manager and any higher ups who influence the decision. Finally, consider the fact that you may not get the raise you are hoping for, so plan a backup strategy. Be prepared to accept a compromise, or even be open to exploring different job opportunities if necessary.
