Figure out a couple type of positions you would want and apply broadly

Don’t go to law school

Never accept the first salary offered, always counter

+1

Counter/state your salary via email. You have more time to put some thought into what you want to say. Give a good reason why you want that salary (I.e. saving to buy first house). And back it up with what you have to offer.

This is how I increased by salary by 75%

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA
