How to finesse your boss for a $100k raise

Video Description

In this video, I explain how I negotiated for a $100k raise at my Chicago based Hedge Fund. I begin by outlining the psychology behind measuring talent which we see evidence of even in academia. I then explain how that same concept carries over into our careers. I go over the email that I sent to my manager to make my case for a $100k raise, and why he conceded. Finally, I explain my concept of “bursty working” and how it’s more efficient than regular working patterns. — Intro: 0:00 How IQ is everything: 0:20 Why Firms love IQ: 4:28 Story about my raise: 7:43 My email asking for raise: 12:40 Reply to my email: 15:50 EQ vs IQ: 16:44 After my raise: 18:00
