Ishank Tandon
Co-founder and coach
TouchBistro
DocuSign
Ishank came to Canada from India with 1.5 years of sales experience and had no Canadian experience. At 23 he was earning 18 lakhs a year in India, and he funded his education in Canada on his own without taking any loan.
Before he finished his degree he was holding offers worth close to $500,000 in total. His first job at TouchBistro was a $100,000 one and his second at DocuSign paid $185,000.
He had no network here and nobody to tell him how hiring works in Canada. He worked it out on his own. Negotiation is the part he pushes hardest on, because he did not get from the first salary to the second by becoming a better employee. He did it by knowing what to ask for.
