Stop Hoping for Raises.
Start Engineering Them.
Professionals with written income goals earn 42% more. Not because they're luckier:because they have a plan, track progress, and take action. You will too.
Two Income Strategies. One Gets Results.
Wanting more money isn't a strategy. Planning for it is.
The "Hope & Wait" Approach
- ×Vague goal: "I want to earn more money someday"
- ×Wait for annual review, hope boss remembers your contributions
- ×No tracking system:no idea if you're on pace for growth
- ×Afraid to negotiate:"I'll take whatever they offer"
- ×Get standard 3% raise:wonder why others get promoted faster
The "Engineer Growth" Plan
- ✓Specific goal: "$120k total comp by December 31" with quarterly milestones
- ✓Track progress monthly:know exactly if you're on pace or behind
- ✓AI insights suggest highest-ROI actions: negotiate, certify, switch jobs
- ✓Negotiate with market data:"I'm underpaid $18k based on BLS stats"
- ✓Hit goal 8 months early:immediately set new target for next year
