Can I negotiate a raise during my annual review?
Yes, annual reviews are a great time to discuss raises, as they focus on your performance and contributions.
Annual reviews are often the most opportune time to bring up the topic of a raise. Since the review focuses on your performance over the past year, it gives you a clear platform to showcase your achievements and contributions. To strengthen your case, gather evidence of your accomplishments, how you've exceeded expectations, and any additional responsibilities you've taken on. Approach the conversation confidently and be prepared to discuss how your performance has added value to the company, aligning with your request for a raise.
