Episode 61: Everything You Need to Know About Salary Negotiations

When did you last negotiate your salary in a way that made you feel proud of yourself?

I messed up so many salary negotiations earlier in my career and I spent many years catching up to the salary I should’ve been making. My fear reflex had an economic cost.

And I’m not alone: Research shows that women are less likely to negotiate.

I never wanted to be in the position again of making less than I deserved and I made a commitment to help ensure other women wouldn’t face this either.

Whether you’re on the job search right now or thinking about it someday, this is a skill you want to start practicing, because it takes time to get it right.
