If it feels like getting a pay rise is harder than ever, you're not imagining it.

But even in a tough market, there are strategies that work, and people using them to get ahead.

Frances Cook is joined by University of Auckland senior lecturer Dr Kenny Ching, MyCareerBrand career coach Kaela Hindle, and Side Hustles NZ founder Rachel Mills to break down how to actually earn more in this environment.

We're covering:

– Which skills are gaining value right now, and which are losing ground

– How AI is reshaping the job market, and how to protect your career from it

– The script and tactics that actually work when asking for a pay rise

– How to find your most monetisable skill and turn it into a side hustle that pays properly

– Whether a portfolio career beats going all-in on one thing

You can't control the wage stats. But you can control your strategy.
