The Unspoken Struggles
I remember the first time I mustered the courage to ask for a raise. My hands were sweaty, my heart was racing, and I was terrified that I'd be seen as greedy or ungrateful. You may be feeling the same way right now. But what I learned, and what I want you to understand, is that it's not just about money; it's about recognizing your value and being rewarded for it. Your fears and apprehensions are valid, but they shouldn't stop you from advancing in your career.
By The Numbers
Think you're alone? Think again. A study by PayScale showed that only 37% of workers have ever asked for a raise from their current employer. And here's the kicker: Of those who did ask, 70% received some form of increase in compensation. Let that sink in. The numbers illustrate that not only do most professionals hesitate like you, but when they take the plunge, the odds are in their favor.
