I thought I needed to walk rather than watch this slow demise of my on-camera presence.

At 27, you don't know who you are.

You don't know your value.

27, you're still building.

At 27, you're going to face a lot of no's to get to yes.

So you need to go in there knowing it might be a no and you still got to go in there and do it.

And so you need to say, I've been at this company for this long, and here's the work I've accomplished, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, and also H, I, J, K. And I know that it is a proper time for my salary to increase, and this is what I'm looking for.

You just add on a little more.
