Since the end of January, the forward and his entourage have been talking to Igli Tare (the two have an excellent relationship) about a possible contract extension. Both the player and the club want to move forward together, and so a contract extension has gone from an idea to a renewal negotiation, all while Leao improved his season tally to nine goals on Sunday in Cremona.

When they came in with the initial offer, it was, you know, a little... offensive. And I said I can't. I know my worth, and I can't do that. They wanted me bad enough, and they said, 'Well, we're gonna chip in'. And thank god they did because it was one of the best experiences of my entire life.

I gave the hiring manager loads of ideas, and was really enthusiastic, and they said that the interview went really well,

Negotiating salaries is hard and awkward and most people hate it as it's a necessary evil. Unless you like volunteer work. But, luckily for everyone, it doesn't have to be a should I rip the band aid off quickly, or take my time and peel it? sort of situation. Maybe more of a let's soak it in water and then take it off with more ease. There's a neat language tactic people can use to assert a grounded stance on where they think their salary should be, providing more legitimacy to their request and making it a tad bit harder for employers to low-ball them.

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'.
