Proper Work Life balance, boosts a individuals career.
Manager Trainee - (City withheld for privacy), Tamil Nadu, India
Jobs today are highly demanding, individuals are forced to perform above their set goals and targets in order to retain their jobs, which leads them to be a workaholic leaving very meager time for them to spend with their social life. under such circumstances people become stressful, which directly or indirectly influence their performance and work-life . The solution for the above case is proper work life balance, which calls for effective time management with their job and personal life. If a individual is able to do that, then this will automatically reflect in his work performance , which in turn will help to boost one's career.

How I got my raise.
Manager, Change Management - (City withheld for privacy), Maharashtra, India
When I first started this job I worked alongside another assistant, but she didn't last long and I ultimately ended up doing both jobs on my own. I thought I deserved a higher salary but I was initially hesitant to ask for it.

The hard part for me was finding the right words to describe what I wanted. I didn't want to come off as disgruntled. I also wasn't sure when to ask and I kept putting it off.

I waited until the company's review cycle. I repeated (in my head) the word "fair", over and over. I tried to think about what problems my manager was dealing with, and how I was helping to solve them.

I said: "I know its been hard to fill the other position. Since I'm working out and getting the job done, I'd like to be compensated fairly."

I got a 7% raise and $500 bonus! And, my boss eventually also hired another assistant to help me with my workload.

Go shamelessly high
ABAP Developer - (City withheld for privacy), Uttar Pradesh, India
If you are confident that you will get the job or if you can sense that they are eager to hire you, go as high. For example, for my 5.5 lpa job (which I accepted), I asked for 7 Lakhs. If they say its out of their range, say you are willing to negotiate because you like the outlook of the organization etc.

Never broach the subject yourself. Especially during the tech interview. Wait until they make the offer.
