Listen "97. Increasing Your Confidence During Salary Negotiations"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is all about increasing your confidence during salary negotiations by advocating for yourself right now, regardless of how long you’ve been at your job. I share examples of how I have advocated for myself at different points in my career and how that gave me the self-advocacy muscles needed to negotiate my salary. I also share how my client was able to negotiate her salary to the very top of the range and secure an offer that is $29,500 higher than her previous job.
Listen for specific ways to advocate for yourself, including:
Requesting professional development opportunities
Discussing workload priorities with your manager
Setting boundaries around work hours
Plus, I share a story of a time I broke my own job interview rules and why it didn’t turn out well.
