📊 Negotiation Strategy
📌 5 Raise Tips
- ✓ Negotiate based on data, not loyalty — research market rates on Glassdoor, Levels.fyi, Payscale, and Blind. Numbers are harder to argue against than feelings.
- ✓ Time it right — best times to ask: after a big win, during annual review cycles, or when you have a competing offer. Avoid asking during layoffs or budget freezes.
- ✓ Always ask for more than you expect — anchoring high gives you room to negotiate down. Asking for 20% might land you 12% — still great.
- ✓ Consider the full package — base, bonus, equity, PTO, flexibility. A 5% raise + better benefits often beats a 10% raise with worse everything else.
- ✓ Have a Plan B — be ready to walk. The strongest negotiation position is "I love this job AND I have other options."
