Do you know the average salary for your position?
At the time it was roughly £55k.

How did you decide it was time to make a change?
I could see the rest of the market was much on a much higher salary and that my work was extremely valuable based on feedback.

Have you ever negotiated a promotion or pay rise before?
I had tried internally but not successfully. I had been successful externally before.

What preparation did you do beforehand?
I collected market data, and wrote a case for my increase that included how I added value. I included information about my knowledge and experience compared to peers along with positive feedback I had received from colleagues.
