So maybe it's I want to feel secure, grounded, and creative. Whatever. Those are mine. Next question. What can I do to experience these feelings? Every choice you make, from the actions you take to the money you spend or don't spend, should help you get closer to experiencing these feelings. I want you to ask those two questions of yourself every quarter, okay?
Because things change and you change and I don't want you spending or saving based on someone else's goals or values. The whole point is being intentional in your action and that means slowing things down. So when you are about to swipe that card, slow it down. When you are getting stressed about money, Slow it down.
The goal is to be thoughtful in how we self-engage, not judgmental or punitive, which unfortunately is a lot of the ways that we interact with ourselves, each other, and money in this world. I think money holds a mirror up to ourselves. And so you have the decision right now to decide what you want to see in that mirror. Who do you want to be? How do you want to feel?
How do you want to make others feel? Because you owe it to yourself, quite literally. On that note, thank you so much for watching or listening to today's special solo episode, or maybe it was more of a window into my personal therapy. So if that resonated with you, I want to hear from you. All my links are in the show notes. You can find me on social at ladies get paid.
I'm so honored to have been with you here today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We got this.
Hi, I'm Claire Wasserman, the founder and author of Ladies Get Paid, a podcast, coaching practice, and newsletter that helps women embrace their worth inside and out. I'm so honored to be guest hosting for Nicole while she is out on maternity leave, although just a bit of a heads up, my hosting style is different in that I don't just interview guests, I actually coach them.
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?
Like what, what makes you want to make a change?
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.
