This was a great video! Negotiated a 13% raise on my internal promotion this week!

My evaluation is coming up on Wednesday and I was underpaid immensely that doesn't even meet the high cost of living. This came at the right time for me as well. You know upper management in every company does not understand the value their workers brings that they pay them based off of what they thing market value is. Mind you they are making six figures while their workers burn themselves out but trying to make ends meet.

Andrew, I just wanted to thank you for helping me cement this in my mind. I was transferred to a different department but for a higher position. When I brought up comp there was some push back because salary budgets are usually decided for a calendar year.

This didn't stop me from asking them if they were going to hire a new person what they would pay and I brought up the market value for the position. Of course I also showed I was grateful for the opportunity. But I also decided to take advice from another one of your other videos where you discuss negotiating salary at a new company. You always mention that when your stock is higher then you can negotiate better. I started at the new department without much clarity on my comp. As soon as I started showing my value, my new boss loved my work. So I asked about the comp again and he bumped up my base salary almost 10%. And he will raise it again another 10% in January with higher bonuses than what he originally let on. It's amazing how advocating for yourself while building your stock pays off. Thanks for your guidance!

Hey Andrew, great advice on your channel man. Got a promotion offer at work with an initial offer to senior level. Had a chat with HR and manager today and employed some of the tactics you recommended. Managed to get a 9.5% increase in base salary, bonus track to %7.5, raise option available in 5 months and speed track to manager. I think it went pretty well.

[Jlsfilms]

I love this! You my friend put it in an easy way to deliver the message. Thanks!

I’m heading into a promotion negation in an hour. Thanks for all the help leading up to this. Wish me luck.

Must watch video!
Very effective negotiation tips for your evaluation and promotion.

[Kate.Sangalang]

Thank you so much. This is very insightful. This tactics are on my mind but wasnt able to articulate yet so thank you 😊

[Loriellinthebay]

Hey Andrew! Im coming up on my first evaluation at my first corporate job. I was temp for 3 months and was hired on as an admin assistant, 5 months into that role i was promoted to cash management (handling funding for IRA, deposit checks n send out wires) i still handle all the requirements of my previous role on top of my new role and the pay was only 5k more. Not sure how to negotiate my first round of evaluations but hearing what my coworkers got during their first evaluation was sad because it was less than 3% and they have more experience in the industry and have seniority over me so i am not sure what my ideal number to negotiate for would be. I have a settling number in mind but i already have doubts.
Any advice appreciated

[gevindarizkidewi]

Hey, Andy....can you help me please? I would like to negotiate my contract next month. But is it the right time during time of crisis? Thank you

[Whitify]

Great videos. Lots of really great tips. The only question I have is when it's a promotion are you expected to share what you are looking in compensation or wait for them to make an offer. In all of your videos on the new job you recommend waiting for an offer. Since you already have the job it feels like you should set a number.

[rossella]

Hi there,

I'm about to get a promotion for a senior role and I know they're going to underpay me under market value. I've also been offered another job higher pay, is it wise to mention I've been offeered another position with X pay to see if they can be flexible in meeting this pay?

I don't want to com across as threatening but I thought it would be useful to mention as it proves my point about me doing market research and that they're underpaying

[sseraj]

I am a nurse practitioner and had been with the employer for just almost 2 months, they have offered me a promotion but when I asked about salary increase, my boss answer was she isn’t sure it would be something HR would know because salary increment comes from them.
But on that note she made a comment that it’s not always about the money sometimes look at the experience and exposure will you be getting secondarily it open more doors the position will be Nurse practitioner to clinical advisor I will be still have the case load but my responsibilities will increase as I then will be consulting with all nps and providing them guidance and education.

Im about to give notice to the job that couldn’t give me the raise I was looking for and just finishing talks over the offer letter for the job I was negotiating with before things petered out. Now they want my help again as executive chef of an inpatient drug rehab/hospital for 45patients. Any suggestions for the offer letter stage? They sent me one which had a bunch of missing things from the interview and negotiating stage so I sent them a nice short email saying I was excited for the job and a few things were overlooked on it if we can reference then. They said a bunch of the benefits were “in accordance with policy handbook” which I don’t have a copy of but Will request.

[EricKorbly]

What about a government job? I’ve read employee reviews saying something like I wish I knew pay was negotiable because they present it as preset non negotiable.
Indeed wages are presented as set. What do I do?

[___fael]

Hi Andrew! Would just like to ask if a promotion is something you should initiate when you feel like it's the right time to ask for it or something you just have to wait for from your manager?

[JohnDoe-drmp]

I will be having my performance review next month and I’m expecting a promotion and a salary increase since we’ve already discussed that last performance review. Should I bring it up a few weeks before my final review to remind them of my expectation ? The last thing I want is having to wait another 2-3 months after my performance review for them to actually start executing my expectations. FYI i get lots of compliments on the quality of my work and the responsibilities I’ve taken on.

[chefprepjustindieh]

I listen to the video three times, excellent! Turning the situation around is great. What a strategy. In attempting to do this with my boss today with negotiating an increase, I felt prepared and had documented accomplishments. I tried to have him make me an offer for a raise and he turned it around, and I asked him again what a fair increase would be and he said he didn’t have one due to not being prepared to offer me a raise for another 3months. I have worked there 1year today. So I said a number (17.6%increase) and said he could get back to me. The job has literally doubled in size in the last 3months. Any suggestions on if he makes a counter offer?

[_SPECTER_]

In the service industry I have always been told Office personnel are are generally payed less than technicians as office personnel are considered an Expense where Technicians generate revenue. I transferred to an office position 3 years ago from my technician role within my company. I have effectively used your techniques to earn larger annual performance raises (Thank you! BTW) but I this last year review gave me the feeling that they were nearing their limits. While I could transfer back and make significantly more money they state they NEED me in My current role as I do a lot and I have knowledge/ experience in our niche business that isn’t easily found. I feel that if I should be compensated at my highest earning potential as the company as I am effectively being penalized for my industry experience/ knowledge. You have stated to ALWAYS negotiate your pay raises, I anticipate a standard 5% increase which I would not be happy with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
