Asking for a raise is one of the hardest things to do. Feeling nervous is normal. It does not mean you should not ask.

The key is to stay calm and show your value. Point to your good work, not just your needs.

ChatGPT can help you build a confident, polite request. You share what you have done well. It shapes it into clear words you can use.

Try this
  1. List the good work and wins you have had.
  2. Tell ChatGPT those wins and that you want a raise.
  3. Ask for a calm, confident message or talking points.
  4. Practice your words so you feel ready.
A message you can copy
