Apaar: Great question! Preparation is crucial. Step one is doing thorough research on industry standards and salary ranges for your position. Next, gather data on your achievements and performance within the company. This will help you build a compelling case for your raise.
Interviewer: That sounds like a solid plan. Once you’ve done your research, what’s the next step?

Interviewer: Confidence is the key, indeed! But what if your manager seems hesitant or brings up financial constraints?
Apaar: Excellent point. If your manager expresses concerns about financial constraints, listen attentively and acknowledge their perspective. Offer to work together to find a compromise that aligns with both parties’ interests. This collaborative approach can often lead to a positive outcome.
Interviewer: Collaboration is a smart strategy. Now, Apaar, can you share any tips on how to remain professional and respectful throughout the negotiation process?
Apaar: Absolutely! It’s essential to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor throughout the negotiation. Remember, this is a discussion, not a confrontation. Active listening, expressing gratitude for your manager’s time and consideration, and being open to feedback are crucial elements of maintaining a positive atmosphere.
