Comment on Ask HN: How do I ask for a salary increase?parent

Comments

The original article is more focussed on "I've just got a new job", where there isn't your current salary as a peg. It's going to be a lot harder to negotiate given that.

What you have to do is somehow reframe the conversation in terms of what it'd cost to hire - and train - someone to replace you. This only works if you really are essential, of course.
