#salary-negotiation

When the economy feels volatile and companies are navigating change, many of us instinctively wait before initiating a raise conversation. But the truth is, uncertainty isn't a signal to stay quiet-it's a call to lead. Asking for a raise during times of flux doesn't mean you're tone-deaf. It means you understand your impact and are choosing to advocate for it with clarity and courage. You deserve that raise.

In June, I hopped on a call with the head of operations to talk about compensation. I might have asked a little too much, but I left room to negotiate.

The research shows that large language models consistently advise women to ask for lower salaries than men, despite identical qualifications. For instance, a difference in advice led to a gap of $120K a year between genders in some fields.

My biggest negotiation regret is not negotiating my paid job offer better; I ended up turning it down to avoid an unpaid internship instead.

Thirty-eight percent of Americans regret overspending just to keep up with wealthier peers, costing them an average of $63,000 in net worth.

They asked me to do season two, and they offered me half the money. I'm like, 'Well, it's going to take me twice the amount of work for half the amount of money'.
