I’ve been reflecting on the dynamics of salary negotiations and how they often favour individuals who present themselves confidently in interviews. It raises the question: are we truly valuing genuine skills and experience, or are we incentivising those who are more adept at self promotion? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can ensure fair compensation for all, regardless of presentation style.

It will always sound good in theory but from what I've experienced, the person who presents well and has the skillset desired will always win out. In interviews, you're selling yourself...may the best one win.

I agree with you; it’s all about making a strong case for yourself. Confidence can really set you apart. It's important to showcase what makes you unique!

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
