Empowerment #CoreValues

[Bear & Giraffe LLC @_beargiraffe]

@DTibrey @tracypholmes can't speculate, but most likely someone who's desperate and getting an offer from a powerful company. and someone who hasnt had the privilege of being told what's normal and what isnt.

it's bad either way

[Bear & Giraffe LLC @_beargiraffe]

Salary negotiation tips:

* after offer, ask how much time you have to think about it

* counter offer, 5% - 10%, even if offer is higher than expected

* beware of "exploding offers" 💣
