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.

Those are the ones who make the most, right? So let's just not be comparing to necessarily other women. Go and message them on LinkedIn and say, hey, I've been doing some research and I'm worried that we all might be underselling ourselves here. I want to confirm a market range. I don't I think it should be around this. Would you be willing to share either your salary or the ballpark?

And this is a great way to be an ally or just showing them that if we can all be a little bit more transparent about how much we make, we take the power back from the employers where, by the way, it used to be illegal to talk about this because we would then ask for a raise. That law doesn't exist anymore. So take advantage of that.

And also, I think a lot of men are looking for ways to be allies, to be helpful. It's also good networking, right? Because maybe you end up wanting to go to the competitor company. Who knows? So you understand the market research. You're going to see there's a range. I know you already know there's a range, but you are no longer at the bottom of the range anymore.

You have those years of experience, but it's not just how many years of experience, it's what you did during those years. So that brings me to the next point. Have you documented over the past couple of years all the wins you've had, the time you've saved in making processes more efficient or projects you've worked on and what the results were and that impact on the business bottom line.

Do you have any of these numbers written down anywhere?

Okay. Yep. And I don't mean to make it sound so simple, but it is as straightforward as I did this thing. Here's how I did it. Right. The problem solving. And then it's all the soft skills that go into the problem solving. Right. Like the act of listening, empathy, the resourcefulness, et cetera. And literally saying, here's how it impacted the results. So we can workshop this out right now.
