What are you most nervous about when negotiating salary? For me it’s nerves as coming across as only wanting money

It's one of those situations that's bound to be awkward, it's practically designed that way. What I do to get over any nerves is prepare so I know the case I'll be making for myself. It's not so much about asking for money but showing that I deserve to be earning more. It's not like I'm asking for a gift, it's a business transaction and I try to keep that in mind.

This is a wonderful mindset, thank you!

If be afraid to say the wrong thing. And that I’ll get rejected and start resenting the company. Heh..

Lol i feel this. But has it ever happened to you?

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.

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