Research salary data for your position
Before you ask for a raise, do your research. Find out what others in your industry earn and compare your salary to the industry average. According to a survey by Glassdoor, 70% of employees who researched salaries before asking for a raise received a pay increase.
Use online tools such as Payscale or Glassdoor to research your industry’s salary range and prepare a strong case for your raise. However, when researching salaries, do not just look at the national average. Salaries can vary depending on location, industry, and company size.
