What this is
Talking about pay can feel uncomfortable, yet it is one of the most consequential conversations in your working life. This course gives you a practical, step-by-step approach to preparing for and leading those discussions. You will learn how to research realistic market ranges, choose the right moment to talk numbers, anchor with confidence, evaluate the full value of an offer, and respond calmly to pushback. You will also learn how to ask your current employer for a raise. Every lesson includes examples, scripts, and action steps you can adapt. Results depend on your field, employer, and preparation, but you will approach each conversation with a clear plan.
You work through it at your own pace, lesson by lesson, applying each exercise to your own situation. It does not promise a job offer, promotion or pay rise; outcomes depend on your field, your experience and the employers you approach.

- Choose when to discuss pay and answer the salary expectations question confidently.
