How I got a 30k raise?

what up nerds! so i recently got a 30k raise, how did I do it?

I have been with the company for about a year or so as an AE. Closing 1 deal a month since I started. I got a new boss 6 months ago, been asking him for a raise and a SAE title bump from my AE role but he had been toying it around. 

So, one day I moved my 1-1 from a friday to a Wednesday evening on that Wednesday morning. My boss jumps on the call and goes "hey is everything okay, I see you moved the 1-1"

" I told him I got an excellent offer over 33k from my current base. but wanted to talk to him before I accepted it"  (never had an offer, it was fluff)

He immediately went let me talk to HR and come back to you. Calls me back after 30 mins, I dont pick up the call (power move I felt) then slacked him hey did you need me ;P. He said " I got the title change and we will make ur base to 85k. How does that sound?"

I said "That sounds great. But I woul like to see a 9 infront of the base doesnt have to be 93k but need a 9."

Here we are boys. 90k base with SAE titlee!!! lfgoooo

Glad it worked out for you though!

I am their top 2 performer, the other 8 people closed nothing but renewals so far, so I knew they would offer something.

But if they didnt, my pride would have made me put in my 2 weeks and find a new gig😂😂

hahah omg i seriously cant believe this worked but this is SO common.

The level of ballsy-ness is not common. just straight up lying??? could have back fired HARD CORE. what if they asked to see the offer haha?

moral of the story?......go get another offer and force their hand.
