How to Ask for a Raise When You Have No Leverage

Episode 48 of The First Job Podcast tackles one of the most intimidating conversations a new grad can face: asking for a raise when you've been in your role less than a year. Lucas and Luna break down a real case study of a marketing coordinator at a mid-size agency who successfully negotiated a 12% increase with only eight months of experience. They walk through the three pieces of leverage you actually have as a junior employee — market data, specific accomplishments, and future commitment — and share the exact framing that turns a 'no' into a 'let's revisit in 90 days.' Plus, a practical script for the conversation itself, and why your manager may be more open to this than you think. #RaiseNegotiation #FirstJob #NewGrad #CareerAdvice #SalaryTalk #EntryLevel #NegotiationTips #NoLeverage #MarketingCoordinator #JuniorRole #Compensation #CareerGrowth #ManagerAdvice #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #JobAdvice #AskForRaise Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
