Here’s how our mentee negotiated $28,320!
“The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
I feel sad when I see immigrants not negotiating their salary.
I feel angry when I see influencers telling people not to negotiate their offer letter!
Imagine this…
You get the courage to negotiate and do it even though you are scared.
In just 15 minutes, you earn $28.32K more! (our mentee’s true story)
Input: Facing your fears and negotiating over a 15 minute call.
Output: Earning $28.32K more for the same work that you would have done at a lower salary.
Isn’t that a f*cking amazing ROI?
Before you ask, no, they won’t rescind your offer if you negotiate. The downside and the worst case scenario is that you ask but they don’t negotiate. But the upside is huge and worth gathering that courage!
Now, that you know that you HAVE to negotiate, let’s discuss the right way to do so.
❌ Don’t negotiate because of personal reasons: I have a huge education loan, can you please increase my salary?
How to implement it in your life?
✅ Here’s how to negotiate the right way:
Research the compensation for that role on websites like Glassdoor.
Be ready with your numbers
Schedule a 15 minute call with the HR mentioning that you want to discuss the offer letter.
In the call, highlight your achievements, skills, and experience as the rationale behind your ask along with mentioning the market standard.
All this while, believe in yourself! They selected you for the role out of all the candidates, so aap mai kuch toh baat hogi!
📧 Do share your negotiation stories with me! I get so happy when I see a fellow immigrant not being shy of asking for what they deserve.
Keep Blooming,
