Are you getting paid what you’re worth?

That was actually a trick question because there’s absolutely no way for you to know exactly what you’re worth.

You’re worth is dependent on what someone else is willing to pay for you at this exact moment in time.

You are like a stock, a house, or anything else whose value is determined by someone else’s desires, needs, challenges, and other factors which you know very little about.

Even though your daily worth is a mystery, there are ways to determine what a potential employer feels you are worth—today.

Wouldn’t you know it? I have a video to help you better understand how to discover this.

Inside, you’ll hear me say funny stuff like, “Salary negotiation is not a transactional event. You do not win a salary negotiation. What you do… is from the time you send a cover letter and a resume or apply online or boss hunt […] from that moment with everything you do and everything you say and everything you don’t do and everything you don’t say until the time you counter their job offer […] that’s the negotiation.”

Gimme 17 minutes and 43 seconds of your life. It’ll be worth it. Pun totally intended.

I get this one a lot.

"Coach, I’m getting stock [or RSUs, ISOs, PIUs, Phantom, etc. etc.] as part of my compensation package.  How do I value this? How do I gauge what the right amount is?"

FYI…that’s Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Stock Options, Profit Interest Units, Phantom Stock (yes, it’s a thing) and several other variations of stock-ish type compensation.

Well, like just about everything everybody ever asks me, this comes down to a number of considerations and what’s important to you.

There is no cookie-cutter formula however, I’m never at a loss for ways to help you consider your options (see what I did right there?).

Today, I’m running through the “You’re overqualified,” scenario which, unfortunately, all-too-many job seekers hear.

I mean, if they think this, why are they even talking to you?

It’s a veiled concern about your fit or salary or whatever.

We all know it.

But, does that mean we need to throw in the towel?

You know I’m all about the art of the possible…

Every week, I meet individually with 15-18 people to help them with their job searches, interviews, and salary negotiations.

Inevitably, I get questions such as…

“Coach, I had this interview. The recruiter talked the entire time. Didn’t ask me a single question. What should I have done?”

“Andy, the interviewer started the interview with ‘What questions do you have for me?’ and I wasn’t sure what to do! Why would they do that?”

“How should I answer a question like, ‘Why shouldn’t we hire you?’”

You get the idea.

Stomach turning.

No more.

Let’s put these and other odd situations to bed once and for all!

Many want it. The good life.

The few. They want the great life.

The rest. What’s left. You guessed it. They pursue heights so high most people dismiss them as unattainable.

Whichever group you’re in, I know you’ll eventually pursue some personal Mount Everest.

You know the one I’m talking about. The one that, somewhere along the climb, makes you question your choices.

Whether it’s a project that takes a week that seems like “the longest week ever” or 20 years to pursue your life’s dream, you’re gonna encounter the “B” word.

If you haven’t encountered the B word, you’re probably settling.

Ouch.

True.

Burnout happens.

Ask anyone who’s pursued a worthy dream.

Burnout especially happens during the month of March.

Why March? Seems like such a nice month, doesn’t it?

People generally set lofty goals during January. (Fairly obvi.)

Some quit before the month is over.

Some make it until February before they throw in the towel.

If you’re still hanging on in March…

You guessed it.

Fatigue sets in.

Andy Sunshine is here to tell you, “No shortcut ever gave you what you deserved nor ever will.”

The long and worthy road is filled with a few…”Hang on. I gotta catch my breaths.”

I want to help you make sure you get what you deserve, so I’m giving you a bit of my formula on how I manage to “enjoy the doing” during the lengthy pursuits of my biggest goals.

Just in time to save you from the March burnout.

Let’s roll. And keep rolling…
