Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find market rate data for my role?
Sites like Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, LinkedIn Salary, and Payscale provide role and location-specific salary data — the more specific you can be about your exact title, seniority, and location, the more accurate your comparison will be.
Should I ask for the full market gap in one raise?
It depends on your company's typical raise cycles and budget constraints — some employees negotiate the full gap at once, while others present it as a multi-cycle target if a single large jump isn't feasible within company policy.
What else strengthens a raise request beyond market data?
Concrete examples of impact and results delivered, expanded responsibilities since your last raise, and any competing offers or external validation all strengthen a raise case alongside market rate data.
