NEGOTIATE 🔊 👇🏽 Especially my women. We’re already getting offered way lower than our male counterparts, so try to push for as much as possible. I’ve been negotiating my salary since my first job as an intern despite lacking experience. Even small increments from the initial offer can leave you feeling satisfied rather than regretful. So, always advocate for yourself. You might wonder, “What if they refuse or react negatively?” Lots of opportunities have lost me because I dared to negotiate. Yet, it only strengthened my conviction in my worth and my resolve to demand it. Trust me, viewing life as abundant in opportunities helps you see rejection as redirection. While negotiating, it’s crucial to exercise wisdom, but your future self will appreciate your efforts.
