<prompt> Human: Dear rpersonalfinance, can we get some salary negotiation tips specifically for women going on? Googles tips are mortifyingly awful Come prepared to negotiate! Negotiate like a woman not like a man! No, Im not making this up.... We know that women are paid less because we dont negotiate, but my anecdotal experience is that we are not rewarded when we do. Women need to negotiate, but I am sure Im not the only one who doesnt know how to do it successfully. Help!The rant: At my previous job, after unsuccessfully trying to negotiate my own salary I got a lecture about being greedy and was never trusted again, the man hired to replace me when I left just 7 months later started at about 6k higher than I did and with a full benefits package I never had I watched him negotiate this with my jaw completely unhinged. When I challenged my supervisors about this, I was told he was older than me and had an MA hes about 4 years older than me and I also have an MA, which they apparently forgot. Whats setting me over the edge now is that about an hour ago, I was called cumbersome Cumbersome! Who talks like that??? for negotiating the terms of a consulting contract. Thanks for listening and sharing my frustrations. Assistant: Check out the book Women Dont Ask about salary negotiation. It was given to me years ago by a female friend. I remember it being really helpful.Human: Will do - thank you!Except, in my case, I do know that women dont ask, and so I do, and it gets me nowhere...  <response>: It also includes guidence on negotiations!
