We’re excited to announce that our CEO, Angelina Darrisaw, has been featured in two CNBC articles today, where she shared expert insights on two critical topics: advancing your career and navigating economic uncertainty with confidence.
When and How to Ask for a Raise
In "How to Know When to Ask for a Raise," Angelina shares practical steps to help you advocate for your professional worth:
Understand Your Value: It’s crucial to know what success looks like in your role. Regularly ask your manager, “What does exceeding expectations look like here?”
Document Your Wins: Create a brag sheet or continuous resume to track your contributions. These tangible results will bolster your case for a raise.
Time Your Ask Wisely: Align your request with key company moments like performance reviews or budget planning cycles.
Be Proactive: Don’t wait for your salary to be top-of-mind for others—initiate the conversation!
