Raise Strategies

Negotiating for a raise and title upgrade requires strategic preparation and confidence. Jordan Harbinger suggests timing the request with a positive performance review, using it as leverage to highlight achievements and justify the promotion 1. He emphasizes that knowing your worth is crucial, and even if the initial response is negative, it opens a dialogue for future negotiations 2. Gabriel Mizrahi adds that if the company doesn't recognize your value, it might be worth considering other opportunities 3.

If they get so offended that you asked for what you deserve, you should probably go somewhere else.

Ultimately, advocating for oneself is essential, and the process can reveal whether the company truly values its employees.

   

Remote Work

The shift to remote work has been a revelation for many, offering increased productivity and better work-life balance. Gabriel Mizrahi shares that working from home has allowed for more efficient work and fewer unnecessary meetings 4. However, some companies are resistant to this change, pushing for a return to traditional office settings. Jordan Harbinger suggests negotiating a hybrid model as a compromise, while also preparing for the possibility of seeking new opportunities if the company remains inflexible 5.

We can work from home. We can be connected even when we're remote.

--- Jordan Harbinger

This transition period is a chance to reassess priorities and find a work environment that aligns with personal and professional goals.
