How I Negotiated 20% Pay Raises 6 Times in a Row
Рет қаралды 58,917
5 жыл бұрынI worked in engineering and time after time, I consistently managed to get 20-25% pay increases either during the same job or when switching. I must say, it takes less effort to get the increase when switching because it appears more normal. Such a large increase within the same company usually means exceptional work or that you got promoted.

Yes! I switched companies 18 months ago, and I got $21k increase. I'm switching companies again this month and I am getting an 11k increase. So, I'm making $32k more now, than I was 18mo ago. Feels great.

1. Shop around. Don't be lazy. Go on interviews. 2. Have leverage. It shows when you're negotiating. Have a stable job. You can also just get any job first and then use that as leverage for the next job. 3. Look at what they're asking from you that is over and beyond what is normal. That's your negotiating chip. Identify them and use them. 4. Give a reason for them to pay you more. Ex. skill. 5. Know the situation you're in. Do they really need you? Do they really want you to stay? See if you can play one off another. 6. Know when to not press your luck. Sometimes you have leverage. Sometimes you can bluff. Sometimes you don't and can't. Then you can go the safe route and take it as it is. 7.Identify the job that you want and expect a certain salary. Sometimes there are moonshots. Have a number in mind when you're applying for jobs.

I love that you go on interviews even when you are not actively seeking a new job. I’m currently job hunting and began applying everywhere I felt I qualified to now being more selective and successful in my interviews because I am understanding my value (and so many options!) There’s a place I really want to work for and I have a good feeling I’ll get in but at the same time I know I might have to leave in a year to promote myself. That’s just how employers are, they do stagnant because they think they can get away with it.

I have had similar experiences in my past as a software engineer. I didn't go as far as pitting one employer against another but rather I was ready to move on so I didn't want to negotiate with my present employer. I typically gained 20-30% raises each time I moved, roughly every 3-4 years (not in Silicon Valley). Employers depend on their employees getting comfortable, when they are comfortable, they don't expect you to look around. Work hard, do your best and always keep your ear to the ground and you will see similar results.

The increases are only like 2.5% but they are given even if you don't ask. I did ask once but only got 4%. This man got lucky and lives in a dream world. In my world, called earth, you have to get a huge promotion to get a 20% bump even once, let alone 6 times!

With a good company intern position the interview and selection process can be same difficulty as a full time position but the only difference is they often pay you poorly, give excess amount of work that nobody wants to do etc. Only thing to do is suck it up and use it for CV then spin the position for full time roles. I had worked around 3 years in each company then moved on - each time to a new position you can exaggerate what you did and increase salary substantially. Also it depends what role you do in the company. If you make good money for the company then they will pay you well and increases will be no problem. If you are just a cost function cog then you are easily replaceable.

I think its fair to say interns out of college aren't rare. Yes fast food workers' skills are ubiquitous in some respects, but not every schmoe off the street can successfully team lead, night manage, or general manage. More common than college degrees, but still not an instant replacement. What's more, there's always inopportune times for hiring and "restructuring"; you can use this to your advantage. If you know its a tough hiring time, or that any new hires go through a costly training period (making mistakes, going slowly, requiring a mentor) then you have leverage over a new hire. Don't believe the idea that taking a low skill job means you're not learning skills. If you weren't, why would the employer keep you?

I probably could get a increase in salary if I apply for jobs in other locations on the west coast and maybe NYC, but I also enjoy a lower cost of living of working where I work (location and industry of employer). So, I'm willing to take the lower salary. I'm due for a increase soon, but I will never be paid the top levels of my field because of the circumstance i mentioned above.
@BeatTheBush 5 жыл бұрын
Question is, can you live the same and somehow save more if you move. It's very expensive on the coast.
@Pinoyguitarist5 5 жыл бұрын
@@BeatTheBush if I move anywhere that I get higher pay, I have to decrease quality of life (cheap food, no going out, no vacations) unless I get a substantial increase. If I find the right job that double my salary then it might be possible.(get to around mid 100k ish). So any increase in salary will not benefit me in quality life standpoint. At least not yet. If you haven't guess it yet, I work in the software development field.

GREEN W/ ENVY HERE: Like....if I was your brother, I would be so jealous of you. You are so successful at the things you put your hand to, have an optimistic mindset, are pretty handsome, slim and smart and it seems to come with ease - naturally. And I'm huffing and panting just to shuffle through life. (How is your health these days? You're looking well, if a tad skinny). Plus, you seem pretty likeable.

Thats a no brainer if you are talking about switching employers. I always throw out some crazy number and quite often they take it. When I go into lazy mode and stay with the same employer i usually get between 6-15% increases. Oh and im staying lazy now because I get crazy bonuses and profit sharing. Make hay while the sun shines!
