How to Ask for a Raise in Your First Job

Episode 24 of The First Job Podcast tackles the nerve-wracking moment every new grad faces: asking for a raise. Lucas and Luna walk through the timing, the preparation, and the actual conversation—using the example of a marketing coordinator at a mid-sized tech firm who successfully negotiated a 10% increase after nine months. They break down the three documents you need before you even schedule the meeting, how to frame your request around market data (not personal need), and what to say if the answer is 'not now.' No theory—just a repeatable process for someone with less than two years of experience.
