Develop a good relationship with your employer/boss
If you directly deal with your employer in a small office set up, make sure there is no bad blood between the two of you. Most employers/bosses have a tendency of increasing salaries of their employees based on how they relate in the office. You will be surprised that an individual you were employed with in the same day is earning thrice your salary. This is because that person has created a strong bond with the boss, resulting to a salary increment.
Enroll for a masters/PhD program
Sometimes your level of education can determine your salary. If you notice that your company promotes employees based on academic qualifications, better you enroll for a more advanced degree program.
In a busy working environment, you don’t have time to pursue your degree at the same time working for someone, I suggest you study an online degree.
I also advice that you enroll for an online degree courses in the UK, USA, Canada or Australia-these are the most preferred degrees by employers.
Pursue a professional certificate/short courses
Another reasonable way to improve your salary is by enrolling for short online courses. You can also pursue popular certificates like CPA, ACCA, Certified Human Resource Management Professionals (CHRP), CFA and ACII.
Change jobs
Another trick most employees do is, change jobs and negotiate from another company. You realize that when you move to another company, your worth increases such that if your former employer needs your services you will be more expensive. But this trick mostly happen for professionals who are in high demand
Exceed your targets
If your company has set up targets, make sure you exceed them. We understand that most companies review employees’ salaries based on their performance-the more you perform the better.
