About this session
Asking for a raise can feel uncomfortable, high stakes, and easy to get wrong. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you approach that conversation with more clarity, confidence, and a real plan. Whether you're preparing for a performance review, stepping into a bigger role, or realizing your compensation no longer reflects your value, this session gives you practical support on how to make your case effectively.
You’ll work with an experienced mentor to clarify your positioning, highlight your impact, and prepare for the conversation itself. Together, you can shape your narrative, practice your ask, and think through how to handle questions, objections, or alternative offers. The goal is not just to ask for more, but to do it in a way that feels thoughtful, credible, and aligned with your long-term career growth.
Your mentor
I'm a Sr. Manager of Solutions Architecture at AWS with deep experience navigating compensation conversations across the tech industry. I've negotiated multiple offers at various career stages, coached direct reports and mentees through negotiations, and understand how leveling, equity, sign-on bonuses, and total compensation packages work at major tech companies. Whether you're evaluating a new offer, preparing for an internal promotion conversation, or re-negotiating your current comp, I'll help you build a strategy grounded in data and confidence.
