JOB OFFER NEGOTIATION

You get what you negotiate, not what you deserve

DON'T LEAVE FUTURE COMPENSATION TO CHANCE.

You spent weeks preparing for interviews and worked hard to earn the offer. This is your opportunity to make sure you are being valued appropriately and not leaving money, equity, or benefits on the table.

Remember, you get what you negotiate, not what you deserve.

Did you know that:

  • 80% OF EMPLOYERS EXPECT CANDIDATES TO NEGOTIATE

  • 60% OF U.S. WORKERS NEVER ATTEMPT TO NEGOTIATE HIGHER PAY

  • 75% OF NEGOTIATIONS RESULT IN HIGHER BASE COMPENSATION

  • MOST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TRUE VALUE OF STARTUP STOCK OPTIONS

This is for you if:

  • You want to maximize your compensation package

  • You feel uncomfortable or inexperienced with negotiations

  • You worry that negotiating could jeopardize the offer, create tension, or make the employer reconsider your candidacy

  • You want to negotiate professionally and respectfully while strengthening, not damaging, your relationship with the employer

The Program

We help you understand not only what the offer says today, but what it could mean financially over the next several years, and develop a negotiation strategy.

OFFER REVIEW

  • RSUs and equity packages

Start Negotiating

I negotiated a 30% higher compensation, and then some!

“I was selected for an exciting job at an AI startup, had received an offer, and needed help negotiating a better package.

Working with Better Life Decisions, I was able to negotiate a higher title, more equity in the company, and a 30% increase in my salary and sign-on bonus.

That’s what I call a great return on investment!”
