1. GET A RAISE, BONUS, OR FIND A HIGHER SALARY

The fastest and easiest way to make more money is to get paid more doing what you are already doing. Period. When it comes to money, always try to optimize what’s in front of you.

Talent is in high demand and you have the leverage. Pretty much no matter what industry you work in, it’s really hard, and getting harder, for employers to find good talent.

The power dynamic has shifted so employees have more negotiating leverage. We are in a talent drought. The competition to recruit, hire, and keep you happy has never been higher. You can use this to your advantage.


Can You Make More Money At Your Current Job?

Did you know that it costs most employers $20,000+ to just replace one employee, so they will likely pay you $10K+ more per year just to keep you? And if they won’t and you want to leave, there are companies that will pay to get you. Don’t sell yourself short.

There has never been more salary transparency and it’s so easy to figure out what other people in your role at other companies are getting paid. It’s also easy to use salary data to scope out career trajectories. Don’t like what you are doing today and want to make more money? Figure out what skills are needed for the job you want and start building them.
