If you want to make more in 2017, start by asking for it. According to compensation data company PayScale. 75 percent of workers who negotiate their salaries get pay raises. However, less than half of workers have asked for raises, according to PayScale’s salary survey. So, if you’re not asking for more, you could be leaving money on the table.
To get a general idea of what you’re worth, check the going rate for your position at sites such as PayScale. com, Salary. com and Glassdoor. com. Then build your case for why you deserve higher pay based on your accomplishments and the value you’ve added to the company, according to PayScale’s salary negotiation guide.
