Salary Negotiation: How to Ask For What You’re Worth

The next workshop is a great opportunity if you:

  • Have ever felt intimidated by salary discussions
  • Are a job seeker or
  • Are employed, but feel that you deserve more than what you’re making!

Join three panelists and SF WoW to participate in a discussion on basic “rules” of salary negotiation. The speakers will discuss guidelines of when to initiate salary talk, key things to say (and steer clear of!), and best practices for how to negotiate for a better compensation package by leveraging your skills for more money, flex-time, stock options or more!

Panel discussion is to be followed by a lengthy Q&A.
