LESSON 6:
SALARY NEGOTIATION
In the lesson below, you’ll learn salary negotiation techniques that don’t require you to be schmoozy or aggressive. You’ll learn about salary inequality - why it exists and what you can do to advocate for yourself (and spread the love by advocating for others). Follow the step-by-step directions about how to strategize to get the salary that you deserve using techniques throughout the entire interview process.
SALARY INEQUALITY
Let’s first talk about how pay inequality happens within the hiring process so you understand how it works. You’ll learn statistics on how women make less money than white men in general and specifically how there’s a huge pay gap for BIPOC women. It helps to understand how the system is not working so you can know how to navigate to get equity for yourself and others. Salary negotiation alone does not fix this system so I encourage you to pay attention to legislation and advocacy that dismantles these toxic practices as you negotiate more money for yourself.
