I was recently tagged on a social media post written by a mid-career professional who's pivoting from academia to non-profit. 

She's received an offer for her dream job, but when she assessed the details of the offer, she realized her all-in compensation would be lower than what she's walking away from. 

She wants to negotiate, so she'd break even at the new job.  But she's worried she doesn't know how to write the email correctly. 

In this episode, I'm walking you through each of the five steps and sample language I've suggested to her. 

You'll learn: 

  • Why you want to approach the salary negotiation like you're responding to a party invite 
  • How to frame for value in a way that enhances your working relationship 
  • The value of being real, human and honest in a salary negotiation email 
  • Why you want to express flexibility and what you can say to invite them to a conversation 
  • Two things I wouldn't say in a salary negotiation email and why 


If you want to be supported by an expert so you can have genuine confidence that helps you negotiate and lead in your career and life, you're invited to book your free 1:1 consultation with me today.

In this hour-long conversation, I'll walk you through an in-take and offer a blueprint for your confident career advancement strategy. If there's a fit for both sides, we'll discuss how we can work together:
