Few managers like to discuss salaries and raises outside of annual appraisal season or one on one meetings with employees. Why? Because many employers know that team members doing similar work could have salary gaps as significant as 50%. Yet, as veteran managers can attest, they rarely yield to employees who ask for more money, “just because.” If you’re the employee caught in this salary crunch, completing an advanced degree in your specialty can provide the justification your manager needs to increase your paycheck.
