Meet the instructors and discover why salary negotiation matters, with experiences from McKinsey, Amazon, Palantir, and health tech, and learn how asking sets you up for future success.
Master practical salary negotiation with four sections on preparation, research and benchmarking, target setting, timing, raise negotiation, value creation, peer comparisons, and tactics like anchoring to secure your best offer.
Benchmark your worth by researching job title, industry, experience, location, and company type using Salary.com, Indeed, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and PayScale, then document findings to prepare for your salary negotiation.
Identify your BATNA to strengthen your negotiating position and set a researched total compensation target. Define your walk-away point and use the salary negotiation template.
Assess your employer's batna to understand their position and locate the zopa. Define your target and walk-away, compare with the employer range, and use templates to negotiate.
Time your job applications strategically to maximize interview offers and bargaining power, manage interview timelines, delay offer acceptance when needed, and practice for your dream employer.
Anchor salary negotiations to inflation and labor-cost data, aiming for inflation-matching increases. In accelerated careers like consulting or banking, expect about 10% per year; in standard roles, 1–2%.
Learn to negotiate salary over time by creating a three to five-year career development plan with milestones, a compensation structure, and evolving responsibilities.
Compare your value to peers to justify a raise, using public data and former colleagues, and consider Germany's Entgelt Transparency Gazette.
Create value in negotiations by negotiating multiple salary components beyond cash as part of total compensation, including vacation days, sign-on bonuses, title, early review, relocation, equity, and childcare benefits.
Value claiming means identifying the value you bring and using the contribution margin to set a realistic salary ceiling, while considering market supply.
Anchor the negotiation by making the first salary offer to bias the other party toward your figure, then present a realistic range as your ambitious target.
Master salary negotiation strategies by showing your genuine commitment, through concrete pre-interview research, store observations, alumni insights, and supplier-portfolio ideas that justify a higher salary.
Pinpoint your value and back it up with concrete, role-specific impact statements during salary negotiations. Keep strong arguments in reserve, and cite track record, references, and relevant international experience.
Identify three costly negotiation missteps to avoid—absolute statements, excessive emotion, and not negotiating at all—then learn to frame offers with qualifiers, stay professional, and negotiate in rounds.
Master practical salary negotiation strategies, including BATNA, targets, and interview timing. Explore value claiming, non-monetary benefits, and career planning to secure raises and realistic expectations.
