Build your case

What you’ll accomplish in this lesson

You have set a specific goal, which is your target salary. Now it’s time to build your case to demonstrate that you have earned your target salary.

You’ll record all of your accomplishments—things you’ve done to add value to the company—and all of your accolades—recognition from others that you’re doing good work.

Once you’ve documented your accomplishments and accolades, you will have everything you need to build your case for your next raise.
