A raise discussion works best as a business proposal. The aim is to connect your contribution and market value to a precise compensation request.
OUR METHODSources → assumptions → European context → verdict
Prepare the case
Collect three to five quantified outcomes, new responsibilities and reliable market benchmarks for comparable roles.
Make the request
Book a dedicated meeting, explain the value created and name a specific range or number. Then pause and let the manager respond.
Plan the alternatives
If salary cannot move, discuss bonus, title, training, pension, flexibility or a dated review with written success criteria.
