Salary & Compensation are two of the most important & least understood parts of accepting a new job. Not only is asking for what you deserve difficult, but so is knowing what you deserve in the first place.
In this frank discussion, we’ll talk salaries and other cash compensation. We’ll also discuss company equity including stock options, shares and other lesser known equity types.
Lastly, we’ll discuss negotiations & how to be strong and confident during a time of fear & uncertainty.
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!
