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've sat on both sides of the offer. As a frontend team lead I ran hiring and retention for my team: interviews, offers, individual career plans and the conversations that happen when someone asks for a raise or brings a counter-offer. Today I'm a Senior Software Engineer and technical interviewer at Gartner, and over ten years I have negotiated my own moves between agencies, product companies and international remote roles.
Much of my mentoring is career work: I've run more than 130 one-to-one sessions, many of them with engineers changing jobs or stepping up to senior, where the offer is the last and most expensive step to get wrong.
In the session we work on your real case: what your profile is worth in your market, how to answer the salary-expectations question, how to read an offer beyond the base figure (bonus, equity, remote, growth), how to counter without damaging the relationship, and what to say, word for word, in the next conversation or email. We can rehearse it until it sounds like you.
