And today I'm going to be talking to Jay, who has been stuck in the same role with the same pay for the past four years. So this episode is perfect for anybody who is looking to grow, grow their paycheck, grow their title, grow their skill set. I'll be giving you and Jay practical strategies for your next move. Let's dive in. Hey, Jay, thanks so much for being here with me today.

If you could give me a little bit of context to the situation that you're in and how I could best support you, I'll do my best to support you.

Okay. I got very excited when you said the kind of company that you work for, because I think we can make a good connection for the last guest that I coach on this podcast, who is a nurse looking to go into healthcare tech. Oh, awesome. Hey, if anything... Maybe I can't help you, but I can help the other woman. Or maybe she can replace you when you leave. No, let's not have you leave just yet.

Okay. It kind of boils down to two things here. It's how you see yourself and how others see you is a big area I want to focus on today. But before I dive in too deep, let me just clarify and confirm everything that you're looking to figure out right now. You are in a company that's a little bit bureaucratic, it seems, right? It's global, it's big. Okay, so it's bureaucratic.

So there's a process at this company to move up and you're not quite sure what that process is, right? Yep. So there's moving up within your company. So that's a title change and a raise. Okay. And then there's the moving on, you know, so maybe exploring opportunities either in other departments or other companies. Have you gone down that path at all yet?

Okay. So there's not like a secret dream here, right? Like, oh, you wanting to, you know, work at some other company or start a business and you're just kind of denying yourself that. Okay. So it's really more the comfortability that you mentioned. All right. You're comfortable. What made you, you know, if you're comfortable, why not keep on keeping on?

All right, let's work backwards first from how to get a salary bump and potentially a title change at the current job. So first thing, market research. I need you to know exactly how much somebody who is very similar to you makes. Best way to do this is to go look up the competitor companies to where you currently are and find somebody who works there, preferably a white male. Okay.
