A short YouTube advice video by TJ Walker about choosing the right time to negotiate a pay raise. The speaker emphasizes avoiding last-minute or inconvenient requests (e.g., catching a boss at 5pm Friday) and instead scheduling an official meeting by asking to set aside time to discuss an important matter about your future.
So how do you find the right time to negotiate a pay raise? What you don't want to do is think, oh, I can't pay my rent next week. Let me grab my boss's attention at 5 o' clock Friday afternoon when they're in a big hurry to get out of here because it's convenient for me. Now, you've got to think about the timeline with your boss. You need to set up an official time for me. Let your boss know I'd like to schedule a meeting to talk to you about an important matter regarding my future.
