Let’s debunk 3 common misconceptions about asking for a raise. I hear these frequently. Here’s my take (from 13+ years of experience in corporate People Leadership roles, 5 promotions, and 5+ years as a Career Coach)...

1. “You can only ask for a raise if you’ve been in the role for at least X amount of time.” Not true! Impact over tenure (generally speaking). The best time to ask for a raise is when you have a list of accomplishments/business impact you can speak to. Maybe you hit your goals, completed an major project, landed a big client, transformed several outdated processes, fixed the mess the last person in the role left for you, etc.

2. “You can only ask for a raise when the company is doing well financially.” Not true!! In fact, it’s during times of financial hardship (including challenges due to COVID) that many folks are working their absolute HARDEST. Ask for the raise. Let them tell you no- then move on and work elsewhere!

3. “You can only ask for a raise if you’re also asking for a promotion as well.” False! You can ask for a raise or “salary adjustment” separate from asking for a promotion. You might have a strong business case ready and/or you have begun consistently working beyond the scope of your job description. List those out. Understand your impact. Ask for the raise.
