If salary hikes were purely based on performance, your hardest-working colleague would be the richest. But corporate life doesn’t work that way.
Who actually gets the best raise?
💰 The one who negotiates confidently – If you don’t ask, you don’t get.
💰 The one who is visible – Quiet workers often get overlooked. Make sure your impact is seen.
💰 The one who understands market trends – Knowing your worth in the industry strengthens your case.
💰 The one who has options – Employees with competing offers often get bigger counteroffers.
Hard work is important, but strategy, timing, and self-advocacy matter more.
