I need money urgently. On average, how long does a normal raise request take?
That depends entirely on your company and profession. Some companies will only implement raises at certain times of the year whereas others will increase your salary the very next pay period. It’s important that you avoid a personal plea: don’t bring your money troubles or other personal issues into the conversation. Your bosses don’t want to give you a raise because you need money. They want to give you a raise because you deserve it and you demonstrate value to the company.
