I was recently invited to participate in a fireside chat in front of a room full of industry professionals interested in practical negotiation tips. After a lively discussion with the host, we turned to the audience for questions. One woman raised her hand and asked, “How do you advocate for yourself without sounding selfish?”
Fascinating interaction! I like your take: “There is a big difference between being clear and direct vs. being demanding and aggressive.” Being prepared, knowing my results, and knowing the comp benchmarks has always served me well. I would love to see more salary data transparency in the world too.
