CORPORATE BANTS
Let’s Talk Salary Research
You know how they say you need to know your rights or you’ll just keep on being cheated? Well, it’s truer than you think.
These days a lot of people are scared to ask for fair compensation because they aren’t aware of what they deserve and I don’t want you to be one of those people.
It can be especially daunting to discuss pay concerns when you’ve just gotten into the job market but it’s a conversation that’s necessary.
Whether you air them or not everyone has some expectations when it comes to their earnings and it’s important to know whether yours are realistic or not.
Asking for what you need might be seem hard, but it’s not impossible.
You need to know that knowledge is power, and that’s why you should always do your research on what the average salary of someone getting into the same position as you typically is so you don’t end up being cheated.

She just kept reaching out, and it worked.
