Not exactly easier, you just stop caring as much about the awkwardness of it. Once you realize the company isn't going to rescind an offer because you asked for 10% more, the stakes feel lower. The worst they say is no and you're right back where you started.
That’s good you’ve never had an offer rescinded do asking for more, I think I worry about that when I think about it.
Yes it gets easier. At first I was afraid to ask for a big number too. Now I just anchor high expecting to negotiate lower. Becomes easier as you have more of these conversations imho
Yeah I guess if you really back yourself and are convincing you can definitely succeed with asking for more!
Negotiating your pay is one of those things that's just awkward, there's really no way around it. It does get easier, sure, but it always feels weird to me. What can help is to make some notes about things you've done well, reviewing that will boost your confidence. And make a good case for yourself, pointing out that you're a valuable worker and you keep getting more valuable.
I think notes can be a big help, I almost never bring writing with me and I think that’s a hindrance.
It gets easier
Lovely!
Repeating my phrasing has helped me a lot to become more confidence. With more practice it will get easier!
True I guess it becomes like clockwork after a while!
