Hi personal finance,
I'm long overdue for a raise at my current company, and frankly, I'm at my wits end. I know that I'm valuable and qualified, and I have to data to prove my value to the company. I'm a marketing manager (with director responsibilities) in the greater Chicago area making $60k per year. It's a 38M per year software company, and I'm the entire marketing team. I've been with the company for seven years and have vast industry experience in a niche market. I brought in 40% more leads this year, revamped our website, and can point to significant financial gains that I've made for the company through my efforts.
In attempting to negotiate a well-deserved raise last year, I failed. I asked for 75k but instead went from 50-60K with a promise of a quarterly bonus structure that was never delivered.
Please provide tips for negotiating a significant salary increase that aligns with the market standard by helping me to take emotion out of it.
The truth is, I love my job and I'd love to stay, but I'm worth a lot more than what I make. I'd love to be able to explain this to upper management without crying.
