Lauren’s Negotiation Testimonial

Would you say "no" to an extra $8,000 to $16,000 in your bank account every year?

Of course not!

But one of the biggest myths about salary negotiation? That negotiating will cost you the offer. So we don't ask.

I met Lauren on an Airbnb Experience in Parma, Italy. We biked through the countryside and ate hard cheese, pairing it with quintessential Italian hospitality. 🧀

We're both from San Francisco, so we also met up in North Beach when we got back. This isn't central to the story, just me reiterating how you never know when that next opportunity will pop up.

Anyway, fast forward just a few months, and she had the opportunity of a lifetime to interview for Meta in New York City.

Excitinggggggg!

Out of the blue, this impromptu travel buddy messaged me to say she'd made it to the final round and needed to talk pronto about negotiation.

My girl! She was absolutely NOT going to leave money on the table.

Together, we gathered market data, clarified the value she would bring to the organization, and crafted a story that connected her experience to the ask she wanted to make. We practiced how to have the conversation in a way that felt confident and authentic, not scripted or confrontational.

A few days later, she received an 8% increase in total compensation.

And that's it. That's the story.

Here's what she had to say about our work together:

"Nicole helped me navigate salary negotiations in a way that removed the anxiety from the process. She worked with me to develop a story, gather data, and feel confident in my ask and in how I asked to help increase my total comp by 8%!"

Negotiation isn't about demanding more for the sake of it.

It's about advocating for yourself with preparation, clarity, and confidence.

And believe me when I tell you, the people on the other side of the table expect you to do exactly that.

If you're staring down an offer, preparing for a difficult career conversation, or simply wishing you had someone in your corner as you navigate what's next, I'd love to be that person for you.

Feel free to send me a message, and let's get you that money, Honey. 💸
