“The challenge with this is that when you get a raise and an annual timeframe, you're getting lumped into the same bucket as everybody else, every single other employee is getting a raise at the same time. So there's not as much money to allocate amongst the workforce.” – Sonja Price
“What you want to be doing is do that external… And even if it's like 5% or above, it's still percentage of what you previously made. Versus if you come in as a new hire. It's a whole new ballgame. We're starting over completely; we're starting from scratch.” – Sonja Price 
“I think sometimes people can get into this like kind of call and response mode when they're in an interview setting. But instead, what you want to be thinking about is how can I help this organization or this manager sitting in front of me right now? How can I help them solve their problems?” – Sonja Price
