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!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
