Andrew discusses how to seek a pay rise and its connection to success in this podcast.
He presents the story of Dylan, who believes he deserves a pay increase due to his successful projects, years of experience, and personal development.
But when Dylan presents his case to his boss, he meets strong resistance, as the company's policy needs to align with his expectations.
Frustrated, Dylan contacts a friend in a recruitment agency and lands a job interview with another company, which offers him a 25% salary increase and more benefits.

Dylan confronts his manager again, informing him of his decision to leave. Subsequently, Dylan's colleagues in the logistics department also leave for higher-paid positions.
This exodus of talent causes the company to need more staffing and lose out on lucrative projects. Eventually, Dylan's regretful boss attempts to re-hire him with a 30% salary increase, but Dylan declines the offer.

Andrew provides insights into the challenges of seeking a pay rise and highlights the importance of researching market rates before making a request. In particular, he advises you to consider factors beyond just pay, such as work conditions and relationships, in evaluating true success at work.
Andrew also addresses common questions about pay raises, including the timing of requesting a raise and the best way to respond to a pay increase.

Andrew explains the significance of understanding one's worth and making informed decisions when pursuing a pay rise.
He encourages you to define success beyond monetary compensation and take appropriate action based on one's personal circumstances.
