Episode Details

Your raise is often decided in a meeting you're not in, and probably well before your review.

This week, Maddie walks through the two moves to make before raise season locks in: updating your brag list so it shows impact instead of a list of tasks, and having a 20-minute conversation with your manager about how raise decisions actually get made. She also shows why the gap between a 3% and a 5% raise is worth far more than one year's difference.

• Why "good work speaks for itself" is costing you
• How to build a brag list in 30 minutes, month by month
• The three questions to ask your manager this month
• What a $1,700 raise difference is worth over five years
• What to ask for when the answer is "no budget"
