@rickythesteadyinvestor: 🚨 WANT A BIGGER RAISE OR PROMOTION IN 2027? START NOW. October might be one of the most important months of the year for your career — and most employees don’t even realize it. I spent 17 years in corporate America, both receiving raises and promotions AND making decisions about who got them. Here’s what I learned: Don’t wait until your annual review to advocate for yourself. Many companies are already working through next year’s budgets, including compensation and promotions. Here are 5 things to do in your next 1-on-1: 1️⃣ Make your ambitions clear. Don’t assume your manager knows you want to advance. 2️⃣ Quantify your impact. Show how you’ve helped the business make money, save money, or improve results. 3️⃣ Understand the process. Ask when compensation decisions are made and who’s involved. 4️⃣ Ask what you’re missing. Get specific feedback on what it would take to earn a bigger raise or promotion. 5️⃣ Follow up. Set measurable goals and revisit the conversation BEFORE decisions are finalized. 💰 And when that raise comes? Enjoy some of it! I’m not against lifestyle upgrades. I’m against letting every additional dollar disappear into higher spending. My newsletter this week explores how to increase your income, improve your lifestyle, AND grow your investments at the same time. 📩 Free newsletter — link in bio. Because building wealth isn’t just about spending less. It’s about earning more, investing consistently, and enjoying life along the way. 💬 What’s the best advice you’ve ever received about asking for a raise or promotion? 📌 SAVE this before your next 1-on-1. 🔁 SHARE it with someone who deserves a bigger raise. Stay Steady. 📈 #TheSteadyInvestor #CareerGrowth #SalaryNegotiation #BuildWealth #PersonalFinance
