<human>: I'm a little embarrassed to ask, but what is the proper way to ask for a raise?
<bot>: I’m not sure if there’s a “proper” way. But I can tell you that it’s important to be prepared and confident when asking for a raise. You should have evidence of your accomplishments, such as numbers or examples of how you've exceeded expectations in your role. Also, make sure you're clear about why you think you deserve a raise. Finally, try to remain positive and respectful throughout the conversation.
