Learn how to leverage your experience and education and negotiate a higher salary.

Asking your future employers to give you more money, more stock, extra time to start…this process can be confusing and anxiety-producing if you’ve never done it before. So in this seminar, we will present a framework that simplifies the compensation negotiation process. We will talk about the components of a typical industry job offer package and you will learn how to ask for more and what you need, and you’ll learn specific strategies and language for asking for more while maintaining good relations with your future boss.
