The best way to ask for a raise is: 0. Tell your boss you're severely underpaid and ask for at least 50% more, 1. Job hunt, 2. get a much better offer from someone else, and 3. Tell your boss you're leaving unless they can do better.
It takes some balls. There's no real reason for your boss to pay you more if you're doing the work at the current rate.
- turar 16y agoI usually try not to stay once I've shown my intention to leave, no matter what the counteroffer from the current place is. So, I would change it to: Ask for a raise. If refused, find another job that pays more. Period. edit: decided to remove a personal story for privacy reasons
