[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've learned from my MBs that I will only get the respect as a business woman that I demand. I'm just now getting to the point where I really feel comfortable negotiating rates and contracts that actually benefit me, whereas before I always felt guilty and worked too hard to be "fair".

[b]My last MB told me all the time that she felt like I was a steal and could definitely ask for more money at my next position. My current MB gave me a call the day before I was supposed to negotiate my contract with her husband and gave me a pep talk about valuing my services and remembering that this is a negotiation and to stick up for my needs.[/b] She really wanted to hire me, and could read that I was more likely to walk away than negotiate hard with her husband.

I am so grateful for the kick ass examples I've had in all of my MBs, who are also kind women that have looked out for me and treated me like a mentee. They've asked about my studies, my plans for the future, and told me about things they wish they'd done differently. [/quote]

Why wasn't she part of this negotiation? Couldn't she argue on your behalf to her husband, or make promises to you herself?[/quote]
