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.

I wanted to grow quickly in areas like system architecture, scalability, and testing so I could build on solid enterprise foundations. That’s what led me to seek out a mentor and ultimately connect with Ferran. At the beginning, I felt completely lost and often didn’t even know the right questions to ask. No matter how long it took, Ferran was always patient, thoughtful, and willing to explain concepts until I truly understood them. Rather than simply telling me what to do, he guided me through the reasoning behind technical decisions, helping me build both understanding and confidence in the stack and the choices I was making. Despite the time zone difference, Ferran was consistently responsive and incredibly generous with his time. Every question I asked was answered with care, detail, and clear explanations. Since working with Ferran, the scope of what I’m able to execute has expanded immensely. I feel far more confident as an engineer, and I now have a much clearer understanding of what to continue learning and exploring as I grow further in my career. Ferran is an amazing mentor, and I genuinely can’t recommend him enough. Working with him has been one of the most impactful investments in my growth as an engineer.”

He has gone above and beyond to help me build a complicated application. There is many times I needed help but was unable to fully articulate. He had the ability to piece together my fractured meanings and perfectly capture what I was envisioning. He has been punctual, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to help me during the course of our relationship. His skills and abilities are truly unmatched. For anyone looking for help with coding, designing, or project management, Ferran is a one stop shop for everything you would need. I 100% recommend him to anyone. ”
