How can I ask my employer about a pay rise? I have been in my job for 1.5 years and I didn’t feel confident enough at my annual review to bring it up (I know i need to be more assertive, I'm working on it!). I did get a cost-of-living % increase, but I want to shoot for at least another 10%. Should I wait until my six-month review or just bring it up now? Does anyone have experience successfully asking for a raise?

We're sure others will have some great tips on this, and first hand experience getting it over the line. We've for a bit of advice here to help prep for that conversation: https://www.seek.com.au/career-advice/article/want-a-pay-rise-say-this Good luck! Let us know how you go.
