3 Questions That Decide Your Raise (Before the Conversation)

Описание: Most people think raises are decided in the meeting where you bring them up.

The raise conversation.
The performance review.
The “let’s talk about growth” meeting.

That belief is why those moments feel so stressful, and why so many capable people walk in feeling like everything is on the line.

In reality, raises aren’t decided there.

They’re shaped earlier.
Through budget alignment.
Through precedent.
Through informal opinions that form long before anything is said out loud.

By the time you’re invited into a raise conversation, the system already knows what it can support.
The meeting isn’t about convincing anyone.
It’s about formalizing what’s already taken shape.

In this video, I walk through three questions that quietly determine raise outcomes before the conversation ever happens, especially for people who carry responsibility, keep things moving, and make informal decisions others later sign off on.

If you’ve ever thought:
• “I don’t want this to land badly”
• “Once I ask, it’s on record”
• “I need to time this right”

Those instincts aren’t wrong. They’re telling you something about the system.
