Honestly thought the 'ask anything' rule meant you could just post random stuff

Tbh, I was posting general life questions here for a while, like about my car. Then a mod told me the point is to ask about the process of asking itself, like how to phrase things better. So last Tuesday, I tried it by asking 'What's a good way to ask for a pay raise without sounding pushy?' Ngl, the advice I got was way more useful than I expected. Has anyone else found a specific type of question that works really well here?

So you got good advice on asking for a raise, but what was the actual tip that helped you most?

The best advice was to stop asking for a raise based on my needs. Instead, I made a short list of my recent wins and how they helped the company save money. Framing it around the value I added changed the whole talk.
