Mastering Job Offers & Salary Negotiation
Welcome to the last episode of our January solo series on the Work It Like a Mum podcast! In this final solo episode, we’re diving into job offers—how to navigate, negotiate, and secure the best possible salary.
📖 This episode is in celebration of the release of my new book, Flex, which is designed to help you create a career that works for you and your life.
What We Cover
Negotiating a job offer can feel daunting, but it’s a crucial skill. This episode breaks it down step by step:
- Market Research – Determine a fair salary using industry benchmarks.
- Setting Your Ideal Number– Always provide a specific figure, not a range.
- Justifying Your Value – Use the STAR technique to highlight your impact.
- Leveraging Other Offers– Competition strengthens your position.
- Evaluating the Full Package – Consider benefits, pensions, and perks.
- Taking Time to Decide – Never accept or negotiate on the spot.
- Perfect Timing– Negotiate mid-to-late week for better outcomes.
- Collaborative Approach – Both you and the employer want a great fit.
- Knowing When to Walk Away – Don’t settle if it’s not right.
- Getting It in Writing – Ensure all agreements are legally binding.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Employers expect negotiation—ask for more.
✅ Research industry salaries to avoid underselling yourself.
✅ Justify your worth with clear examples.
✅ Weigh the full compensation package, not just salary.
✅ Take time before accepting any offer.
✅ If a company won’t budge, be prepared to walk away.
✅ Always get the final offer in writing before resigning.
