Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide average salaries for my city?
No. Unfortunately, there are far too many locations and variables to provide that information in a comprehensive guide. However, we provide links to a number of reliable sources for obtaining this information.
Do you guarantee that I will get a raise if I use your guide?
We wish we could. Sadly, there are a lot of factors that go into receiving a salary increase and some of them are outside your control (economy, firm performance, etc). That's why we include a section in the guide that tells you what to do if they reject your request.
What are the System Requirements?
The ebook guide is delivered in PDF so you can view it on any device that has a PDF reader.
The spreadsheet tools were built with Microsoft Excel 365 (.xlsx) and can be uploaded to Google Docs if you don't have access to Microsoft Office 365.
