Negotiations for Hackers

Talkat Burlington Ruby Conference 2013 · 2013-08-03..08-04· [career-development]
slides:none on file

Covers concrete negotiation moves: practice asking for No’s, use mirroring and we language to build rapport, and name a high anchor (study: anchoring wheel 10 vs 65). Gives numbers and tradeoffs — a $5,000 early raise becomes about $300,000 over a career — and shows exact things to push on in offers: assignment of inventions, non-compete, NDAs. Explains practical tactics: salary research sources, sending proposed contract language, and phrasing to make approvals easy.
