How to score yourself the pay rise you deserve

1. Get as much information as you can

Information is definitely going to be central when asking for better remuneration. Think about what you are worth – both externally and internally.

Speaking to FT, Ku explains: “You also need information about your employer — have others tried to negotiate better salaries and what has the reaction been? Is the company (or unit or team) experiencing growth or decline that could affect its ability to give you what you want? What is company policy on pay? You may never have perfect information. But the more you can get, the clearer, stronger and more rational your arguments will be, allowing you to present your case with confidence.
