‘When you are making career-related decisions, you need to consider more than the compensation. Evaluate the impact the decision could have on your earning potential and career trajectory with just as much weight as the salary.’

‘Every job or position you hold throughout your career should allow you to learn and/or earn. Ideally, your job will do both; but if it does neither, it is time to move to a new opportunity.’

‘You are your own best advocate. A great strategy to manage your workflow and put yourself in the driver’s seat of your career is to create a task-management system.’

‘Every job or position you hold throughout your career should allow you to learn and/or earn.’

‘You are your own best advocate at work, and a great way to build confidence in the workplace is to draw awareness to just how valuable you are.’

‘The negotiation starts at the beginning of the interview process. Focus on likability and building rapport. Make it clear you are serious about the role.’

‘When negotiating, don’t be afraid of silence. Oftentimes, people think the most intimidating part of a negotiation is the ask, but it’s actually the moments after the ask, when you are forced to let the silence sit for a few moments.’

‘The glamorization of work is based on perception.’

‘The best time to talk about money and ensure the salary is aligned with your needs is during the phone screen with HR. Don’t make talking about compensation weird-you are at work to get paid!’

‘You get to choose what you prioritize in your career, depending on your needs and desires for your life. Consider your personal values, your ability to earn, and your ability to learn at each pivotal career moment.’

‘You own your career! You are your own best advocate at work- don’t wait for others to advocate for you.’

‘Your dream job doesn’t exist. The sooner you accept this, the easier it will be to find true satisfaction at work.’
