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
