?? New grads: Negotiation isn’t optional—it’s a must-have skill. If you’re offered $50K and negotiate just $5K more, you could earn $500,000+ extra over your career. Just keep putting that extra $5K in an interest bearing account and watch how it accrues. Negotiate up to $60K? That’s over $1 MILLION in additional lifetime earnings when you put that $10K away. ??All thanks to the magic of compounding interest. Most companies EXPECT you to negotiate. The earlier you start, the bigger the impact. ?? Here’s how to get started: ? Do your research – Know the market salary for your role ? Practice your pitch – Confidence is key ? Remember your worth – If you don’t advocate for yourself, who will? Negotiation is a skill you can learn, practice, and master. Want to level up? Check out TheRealMe for expert tips! ??
