Any advice for a successful salary negotiation? I’m due a raise - evolved role and extra responsibilities since some engineers on our team left and I feel it’s the time to ask. Only female in a man’s world at work, which can make asking feel uncomfortably intimidating. But at the same time, if I don’t ask, I won’t get anything. TIA

Go in with a number in mind and prepare a list of the value you’ve added (evolved role, extra responsibilities). You can also ask for your salary band ahead of the meeting and can use that as a reason for a market salary adjustment based on your current role if you’re below market value.

That’s helpful thank you! Yes I’m below value for market role and experience. I will definitely state my research found

One of my favorite books that have helped me negotiate salary increases is "Never Split The Difference." I recommend that book to anyone that wants to get a raise. It will help you get a raise and in other parts of your life too. Secondly, ask for it. You already have a no if you don't ask.

OOOh I haven't heard of this book. Thank you for this. I am adding this to my amazon cart now.

When I was ready for a raise I perused the Salary Negotiations bowl a bit and got a lot of great ideas. Mainly: know your worth. If you do the market research and ask for fair market value, there's really no reason why you should feel like you deserve less. If they can't pay you market value, they can't afford you, and it's time to look elsewhere.

Ahh thank you. I need to join that bowl. That would be really helpful.

^ I’m also exploring around other options to avoid disappointment!

Hi All. I have a good job offer but I'm wondering whether I should negotiate comp. I made it clear from the beginning what my target for base comp was which is ~$10K over the top of the posted salary range for the job. I also said that I was comfortable proceeding with the interview process despite the top of that range being lower (somewhat weakening my position for later I suppose). The offer is at the very top of the range. Bonus is 5% less than what I get in my current job. Negotiate?

Cons: I’m worried people might think it’s too much of a time commitment.

Pros: it’s reasonably impressive. I bootstrapped a company into existence on my free time and it has an impressive list of clients now. Profitable.

I’m technically the majority share holder, not an employee of the side hustle (it’s legally a company now). And I have employees that manage the daily activities.
