There are several reasons why we don’t ask for a raise.
First, we ourselves think we don’t deserve this. Secondly, we convince us that even if we broached the subject we are less likely to succeed.
But there are a select few who not only think they deserve this pay raise but have unraveled the mystery in successfully negotiating for a raise. And it is time for this 57% to join them.
Here are 7 expert tips that not only guide you for a successful negotiation but also help you pullout with a walk away strategy.
Negotiation seems like a rodeo bull. But the only way to ride the bull is by taking it by the horns. So be prepared and be optimistic. The only way to win is to start the conversation. Good luck and Godspeed!

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
