Quick comment about gender and I have mentioned this to some of you. It turns out that men and women do approach job negotiations very differently and there is fun research on this. So, a large study was done of a group, I think, it was business school students and of that group, over 60% of the men that were in the study asked for more compensation independently of what they were offered. So, you know 50,000 dollars, "I want more." Sixty, "I want more." Seventy, "I want more." Eighty, "I want more." "I want more than 100,000 you offered me." It did not matter, the men just wanted more. OK. Conversely, women with same education background offered the same salaries, less than 10% of them asked for more. Women tend to feel, and again, this is a generalization women tend to feel, "Oh, I am lucky to have a job. I do not want to stir any waves." You know, they want to get things started off on the right foot. The male attitude, "I want more. I am worth it. They do not have any idea how good I am. I want to be killing it for them." And so, there is difference that gives you a little bit of a sense, both of, you know, hiring man or hiring woman, or your A-man or A-woman looking for a job, but we tend to have different approaches. Whether you're a man or a woman, why you want to be paid that is what is fair. And that is an often very good strategy if you are seeing the salary level different than they are. If you guys see a different world, say look, I kind of came here with higher expectations. Let me kind a walk you through how I got there. I looked to what they are paying at Yahoo. I talk to people there. In fact, I looked at Google itself and you guys were paying your product marketing managers in this department X. I am not sure why it should be paid lower. I just want what is fair. I do not want to be pushy but I want to be fair and it just does not reconcile of where I came from. Where did you get your number? You know, what is your standard? And so use that objective criteria to your advantage.
This was the fabulous,sharing all information in this time duration is very great.
I think most women tend to settle with whatever salary is agreed to rather than negotiate what they are worth
women are just much more satisfied than men
Whether we are male or female, we should know what we are worth as a person and in terms of our track record and merits. So whatever gender, if we "know" that we can contribute successfully to a business or organisation and have the credentials then, yes we should ask for a salary which matches our abilities and potential without being too greedy.
done
women are less risk takers
The principle of output, outcome and work production should be the only one used for negotiating salaries.
why do males have to get paid more
Women tend to negotiate for higher salary less often than men do mostly because they are not conditioned by the society to feel entitled, and at present situation they mostly tend to be appreciative of just having secured a job. May be this will change with time as the feminist movement progresses and attain normalcy.
salary negotiations, I think should be based on the employee productivity and on the cost of living.
