Prepare your case for a raise
Organize your wins into a short, confident case and practice the conversation.
Why it works
A raise request is stronger with concrete examples of impact and a clear ask.
Step by step
Collect wins.
Here are things I've done this year: [LIST]. Turn them into 5 impact statements with results where I've given numbers. Don't make up numbers.
Fill in the [brackets] with your details before you send.
Draft the talk.
Write a 2-minute talking-points outline for asking my manager for a raise, including my ask and how to respond if they say budget is tight.
Role-play.
Play my manager, push back politely, and help me practice staying calm and specific.
Replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details. Works with most AI chat assistants. The ChatGPT and Claude buttons open a new chat with the prompt already typed in, and you press send. Gemini doesn't accept pre-filled links, so its button copies the prompt for you to paste. For steps 2 and later, paste into the same chat you started so the AI keeps the context.
