But obviously you don't have to tell them when you're in the salary review.

This is, if you're not going to give me this, I'm going to go.

Because you do not want to put yourself in that situation.

This is the kind of thoughts you have to yourself afterwards.

Yeah, you want to be...

calm when you're going to as sensitive as it is you want to go in as we've got in the notes just be very professional like you wouldn't want to go in there and just go all guns blazing saying i'm not happy with this i'm not happy with that by the way i'd like a pay rise you have to be really calculated calm take feedback give feedback etc yeah because often pay rises are combined with annual reviews definitely so there's a lot of other things happening in that conversation as well

yeah because oftentimes they might even do things like anonymous surveys where you each survey each other and then you go and your manager talks to you about your weaknesses your strengths etc so something might a curveball might throw off before you well and truly before you get to the pay conversation

That's it.

So they might even have this stuff in front of them and be like, so, you know, given all of these pieces of feedback, what do you think is fair?

So you have to be prepared that, you know.

That's it.

Yeah.

So, okay.

So we know, you know, there's certain figures in mind with being professional.

What's next?

Glassdoor is a really good one for culture as well.

I use it for investing to understand the culture of a business.

If you ever want to find out more about the company's culture that you're thinking of applying to, don't just take what it says in the marketing documents.

Actually go and get the, there's reviews on that.

Yeah, especially if it's a large organization.
