Negotiate the Best Possible Salary Package in a New Job
This is another route to higher employee pay. Remember, the first salary offer is not the employer’s best offer. Job candidates are expected to negotiate. Many women don’t.
Why? Because of their discomfort with the negotiation process. So they accept the first low-end-of-the-range offer, losing thousands of dollars of earning power in the near-term, and for years to come.
You can do better than that. But you have to learn and practice salary negotiation strategies way ahead of time. Start with self-learning; there are lots of worthy salary negotiation books available. Email me if you want my book recommendations.
But when the outcome really matters and you want better-than-DIY results, salary negotiation coaching is an investment in your career that will pay for itself many times over.
