I want to continue to grow with this company.
'Crescere' = CRE-she-re; the 'sc' before 'e' sounds like 'sh'.
Use to signal long-term commitment while negotiating a raise, reassuring the employer that you are not a flight risk but still expect proper compensation.
Expressing a desire to stay ('crescere con l'azienda') demonstrates loyalty, which is highly valued in Italian business. However, it must be paired with the raise request so it does not sound like you are simply grateful and not asking for anything.
Il mio obiettivo è costruire il mio futuro qui.
My goal is to build my future here.
Stronger commitment statement; use in family businesses
Non sto cercando altri lavori — voglio investire in questo progetto.
I am not looking for other jobs — I want to invest in this project.
Very explicit loyalty; can reduce employer anxiety
Ma ho bisogno di sentire che anche l'azienda investe in me.
But I need to feel that the company is also investing in me.
The essential complement: mutual investment
Italian companies, especially family-owned ones ('aziende familiari'), place enormous value on staff who 'belong' to the family ethos. Expressing genuine loyalty can be as powerful as data in a salary negotiation in this context.
