I know for a fact that my negotiation efforts never result in anything worthwhile because the lack of my confidence really shines through. No matter how much positive self-talk I give myself before one, I crumble when the conversation actually happens. This might sound silly but are there any courses I can take on how to be better at negotiating? I see there's a Masterclass in negotiation but not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for. Has anyone tried it?

I would recommend that you familiarise yourself with your competency and the value you bring. I would also focus on your successes stories - write them out and put them where you can see them- that would boost your confidence so that when you negotiate your salary you know your worth and you refuse to back down. In terms of £££ you can do research to get an idea of your salary range using benchmark data. I did this exercise recently and realised that ai didn’t know my worth professionally and the value I bring hence reason I have been letting lack of confidence get in the way. Always see yourself as an expert in your field. If you can list 2 or 4 success stories using CAR framework focusing on the results this would boost your confidence because you will see on paper your impact and that will boost your confidence. Your salary is a drop in the ocean for your company and knowing your worth based on your impact will help you. Hope this helps! Good luck.

Doesn't sound like you don't know how to negotiate as much as it sounds like you don't believe in yourself. Maybe consider coaching or therapy around self-esteem first versus negotiation skill building. Those skills will still need a solid foundation from which to be used.

I like your advice.

I know that the Masterclass is about a different kind of negotiation altogether but it still does the job. There's lots to learn from it.. if you have the money for it. I'd highly recommend taking it up.

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
