    Top Salary Negotiating Mistakes We All Make, and How to Fix Them | Keri-Lynne Shaw I Part 2

    50% of us don’t negotiate our compensation package. 
    34% of women don’t go there
    That can lead to a $1M+ loss over the course of a lifetime
     
    But what about negotiating a severance package as protection?  
     
    We break this down to address: 
     
    Is it awkward to introduce the idea at the negotiation stage? 
    Does it arouse concerns that you’re looking for a free ride? 
    What’s the best approach to ask for it? 
    And at what level is it an absolute must to get it on the table? 
     
    In Part II we also talk about: 
     
    The gender gap
    How to probe for commitment to DE&I 
    And how to build the confidence to ask for what you need 
     
    Keri-Lynne Shaw is the Founder of The Salary Bump. 
    Like many, she didn’t know her worth assuming with hard work…
    The money would come. 

    This is a critical listen for those at any stage of their career whether you’re at the beginning of your search or approaching an offer.
