Money Talks: Salary Negotiations
When you get a job offer, it’s the start of a conversation. You want to make sure you’re prepared and get what you want out of it. Mary Childs, Washington and Lee, is back to coach us on the ins and outs of salary negotiations. She’ll also emphasize why the confidence to negotiate is key at every stage of a woman’s career.
MEET OUR HOST

When you get a job offer, it’s the start of a conversation. You want to make sure you’re prepared and get what you want out of it. Mary Childs, Washington and Lee, is back to coach us on the ins and outs of salary negotiations. She’ll also emphasize why the confidence to negotiate is key at every stage of a woman’s career.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Mary will tell us about her very first job and the lessons she’s learned throughout her career. She’ll share practical strategies, frameworks, and scripts for negotiating at work — which includes more than just salary. Think: title, moving expenses, 401(k) plans, insurance benefits, PTO, and more.
Plus, there will be a live Q&A so you can ask your burning negotiation questions (or submit them in advance) and get advice from an expert.
Bring pen and paper if you want to take notes in preparation for your next negotiation chat!
