You know, they ain't the best work but enough to Get a raise. So what do this junior C sharp developer do? So the first thing that C sharp developer should do is set up a meeting with the software Manager or the software director so that they can review where they are as far as just their career the job Their current status of the company and really have that one-on-one time with that manager or that director So once you set up that That meeting what do you talk about? Well, you know in there big for a job or you can go in there and say, hey, I deserve a raise give me a raise and It may work, but more than likely it won't work You have to basically justify Why you need more why you are more valuable to that company? When you leave they will feel it or it would be harder to replace you at your current salary So they might as well give you a raise that means see it How do you communicate this and how you do it in a way where the manager could understand this and Be able to go to the HR or his boss and say hey give this guy raise He's valuable to my company give them a raise right now boom So you want $25,000 raise or you just want to be a senior level developer you set up the meeting everything go good You got that so you decided that hey I'm gonna go ahead and showcase my projects that I've done over the years so that I can first of all showcase what I've done in the past and What I'm gonna do in the future and how it's gonna impact the company great good strategy. You ready to go now What do you talk about during the meeting? This is the critical part is this video guys and this is what gonna set my content apart from everybody else because I can go through and just tell you to just Put basic coding project calculator apps to do apps all that basic stuff No, we're gonna give you specific projects here guys so that we're gonna help you guys out Bear with me guys Got a little bit of a code going and trying to get through this video still gonna drop you guys some really good content So bear with me things are gonna get better and we're gonna get you guys started. So that being said, all right meeting day We're gonna get to this meeting with the software Developer manager or director going to meeting. What are we gonna talk about first of all? Always go in there and a positive note. Make sure. Hey, we're on the team together Don't make it controversial. Don't make it hard for them to make a decision. You just laying stuff out That's all you're doing, you know, just basically making it clear showcasing your value so they can translate this to the next person So you can justify your raise. So first project you got on that list that you're gonna talk about is ERP Workflow automation functionality. You should have this on your list guys If you don't you're gonna be making a mistake every company gonna have some form of a ERP system ERP system It's their main system. That's gonna allow them to take orders process them Invoice and all that good stuff. So some companies gonna have they call it different things It may be a management system. It may be something else But whatever that company core system for you, you should be billing integrations with that to automate workflow This is a C sharp developer. So they should have a project You don't have to be all gooey and other things like that But you should be able to go to this manager on your portfolio Say they was doing this manual before my code was in place or my software in place Now that's automated. I have over a hundred people who used to do this manually every day Taking about three hours a day over a hundred people now. That's automated. That's time is money guys That's gonna justify you getting that raise pretty fast just that one project alone and we got more to even talk about so now you got that Software development manager Attention because now they know. Oh, he showed up to play. He showed up to really showcases value. So Tell me more and they're not gonna be excited Don't expect them to be ha ha hooray because they got their poker face on they're trying to see where you at They're trying to size show up make sure you're worth that raise make sure that hey once you get that raise It's gonna be justified. You don't make them look bad So guys it's very important that you guys make sure you showcase these projects correctly And this is all something a junior developer can do as well. So Project number two something customer facing a JavaScript website portal That really showcase your ability for UI and UX design This is for some of your front-end developers and you notice that I haven't I put a emphasis on UX and UI experience Not designed because a lot of you guys getting here and say I'm just gonna focus 98% of my time in the sea CSS and just make it pretty colors all that stuff the stuff you see which okay That's a part of branding and sales and making things look professional But I'm talking about experience being able to put elements on a screen that's useful at that specific time that specific use case That's going to help make people more productive. You get calls from a customer Excellent about the status of a load all the time and they do that. Let's just say 12 times a day and They do that across multiple Customers where you want to set up them online portal? They can log in they have access to all that information and not only they have access to the information You can see their current loads. You can see what's going on there to current orders What the status is they don't have to call and talk to somebody and check it anytime any day in your UI code Allow your personnel office staff to not get those calls so they can focus on more high level high impact projects That's what your code did That's your second one guys and you can start adding functionality like business alerting Where somebody logged in or loads late so that you can actually put that on that portal And then you can even let them know when things are the issue. So you don't get calls about that as well That's a huge thing you can do from alerting graphics In a UI not you guys sleep on that reporting you think that's more for business analysts which pure reporting is but I'm talking about integrating automation and really doing that dashboard type feel you need to do that So number three project guys talking about Dashboards let's go to the sales side of the fence every company's gonna have some kind of sales department that had to manage customers They're gonna have some form of a CRM Maybe Excel spreadsheet whatever that may be they need marketing automation guys They need some kind of dashboard to let them know what the customer status is certain alerts What if one of those customers logs on to their portal and see about a late load and you got to go see that customer You want to know that type of information so that you can get in front of those questions and be more professional and more knowledgeable What that company needs or emails you want to see why their sales volumes going up down All that good stuff potential clients in the industry There's a lot of automation there guys that you can really leverage when you integrate your CRM and your ERP system through code You can do that pretty easily through the database through front-end That's something that you need to showcase on that resume guys really good stuff. That's but not least is the Performance this is something that always gonna be a reoccurring thing your code will be At a position where you need to optimize it as your company grow the scope of it get larger some of your code That may not be written optimal for that particular size company You're gonna have to improve that the only way you're gonna know that is to put Processes in place test in place to be able to monitor that so that you can make that user experience faster from a performance standpoint This is always something you can always do for my bread and butter standpoint may not be the top butter list But it's something that you can put on there so that you can continue to be Optimizing looking for those business processes because time is money just say you got 12,000 employees you log on to the system. It takes I don't know 47 seconds to load you can get that down to five seconds Millions of hours and time being saved guys. That's what I'm talking about. So At the end of the day you laid these out you talking to company language You're talking to your boss. You got a good balance of the business and the software as a junior developer By the way, you're going to get that raise You're gonna be put in a position so that now that software development boss can take this stuff That you just gave them on a silver platter and say this is why I need to give Ride or whoever the junior C sharp developer a raise because of this kind of stuff guys guys If you agree with me comment below if you disagree with me comment below I want to give you more projects, but I can't make this video too long So if you haven't already we talked about more projects and my seven-step guide is way more than this guy so links are below and Want to make sure I covered everything but at the end of the day guys It's all about your business Projects and how impactful they are from a software from a coding from a workflow perspective You got to get this in your mind because most of our developers are going to be in this position Especially if you're freelancer, so if you haven't already go ahead and check out the goodies below in the description box Sign up for that seven-step guide Go ahead and support the channel and buy some of those free courses or buy some of those premium courses So that you can advance your career and get to that six-figure salary you deserve and I'll put a link to my Seven-step guide here.
