If the thought of negotiating for a raise with your employer fills you with anxiety, this is the podcast for you. Based on a listener question (more of those, please), Elisha and Shannon lay bare the dos and don'ts of advocating for your financial worth, tapping in to years of experience and perspective from both sides of the employment fence. Yep, it's well documented that women are not only traditionally paid less than their male counterparts, but they also are statistically way less likely to dare ask for a salary increase. That's bull****, and we all know it. Let's encourage the young women in our lives to negotiate and counter offer! Know your value, and what you bring to the workplace. Do your research and come prepared. Check your emotions (protip from Elisha and Shannon: crying about it is weird and awkward). Be open to receiving a "Yes" OR a "No"... and learn how even a "No" can set you on a greater path. By the end of this episode, you'll be ready to confidently bust the stigma of asking for a raise. No tears, no defensiveness, no settling for less in the workplace. Just you and your real talk, real change attitude.
