5. Know Yourself and Challenge Your Limits:



Though sticking to your strengths and carrying out tasks that you are comfortable with can bear fruits initially, it does not help you in the long run. Know yourself, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and be prepared to challenge yourself to break the boundaries and take on new responsibilities in a pursuit to reach greater heights.  



6. Plan B and Alternatives:



Be flexible and opt for plan B in case you couldn’t negotiate a pay hike. Play smart and seek for additional perks such as flexible timings, working from home or other non-cash benefits that could catapult your work satisfaction to a new level or puff up your pay packages indirectly. 



7. Stick With a Company:



Last but not the least, never opt to hop jobs in a pursuit to land a greater pay. As job hoppers are bound to fall behind, both in terms of pay packages and success, compared to the individuals who stuck to the same job for a long time.
