Receiving pittance
Write down all of your accomplishments at work and highlight where you've met or exceeded expectations. Consider whether you've taken on additional responsibilities or projects and how the projects have added value to your company. Research on what the company's pay scales are, and on what the industry pays more broadly. Build confidence. Practice what you're going to say and anticipate what your boss will say. Set up the meeting, don't do this over email. Stay calm and introduce a competing offer. Give yourself the space to do the very best that you can in that moment. Think about negotiations as problem-solving.
