[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are most of you women?

I distinctly remember my male mentors telling me to always seek a 20% pay raise from one position to the next. I always did, and succeeded in negotiations.  I was pleasant and appreciative of the offers each time but quite firm about a rate that I thought was fair while taking into consideration my unique skill set.

I got the biggest offers when companies were competing against e/o.[/quote]

Yes, i am a woman, why ?  :P  In this current job market, for every position, there re hundreds of well qualified candidates applying, some of them having been out of a job for some time, will work for pennies, so how do you leverage a higher salary in these instances if someone else is willing to work for less?[/quote]

Another woman PP here, who recently went from ~65-74 - true indeed but this fella has a very good point. Over and over again data says that women don't get raises, or as high of raises, because they don't ask. I think most women are unaware of their worth and thus their negotiating power. [/quote]
