Why Your Salary Hike Isn’t Just About Performance

Think doing great work alone guarantees a big salary hike? Think again. Performance matters, but so do market trends, company budgets, internal politics, and your negotiation skills.

Here’s how to increase your chances of a better raise:

💡 Know your market value – Research industry salaries for your role and experience. 💡 Track your impact – Keep a record of your contributions, cost savings, and revenue impact. 💡 Time it right – Salary discussions are best when budgets are planned (not after hikes are decided). 💡 Negotiate smartly – Be prepared with data, stay professional, and don’t be afraid to ask!

Your work gets you in the room, but your strategy gets you the number you want.
