Since the beginning of my career - did salary negotiation though when you’re employed in healthcare - there’s a ceiling to that . This is very educational!

[@karaebelofficial]

Mmm makes sense! I’m glad you found the video informative.

That's a very useful video! I like when you mentioned that it's not them against you, it's you and them collaborating for the best outcome. I'd appreciate it if you could also speak about "red flags" that everyone should pay attention to whether they're gonna work with a company or with clients. Also your dress is beautiful :)

[@karaebelofficial]

Glad to hear! And thanks :) A lot of the red flags will depend on your needs and preferences and then some relate to whether you're set up to "succeed" in the role. Here's what I mean: 1) Preferences/needs: financial, work security, leadership, team, environment/work space/commute, development... It's important to figure out where you fall on the scale and then, based on that, you can figure out most "red flags." For example: if you ask a future colleague if they can describe a recent large project they worked on at the company and tell you about what the day-to-day on that project looked like + what were their responsibilities, and they tell you that the project was interesting, it was very fast-paced and had to be done within a week, there were a number of late nights but it was cool to see how everything came together. - this could be a "red flag" for you if you're not keen to do such quick-turn around projects. I had a client who's really into quick projects (vs. long term ones). So for them, a red flag would be doing the same project all year long. 2) Performance red flags: These are the red flags where you're not being "set up" to do a good job in the future. For example, if your role description is ambiguous or the company "doesn't yet know what you'll do exactly (but needs a person), this could be tricky. Why? Because if you don't set specific performance metrics and agree on them, how will they evaluate if you did a good job? It's helpful to have that conversation early on. Similarly, if your future boss is a micromanager and you don't work well under that type of leadership. Or there is no overlap between you and the person who had the role before you - this could be fine but it could also mean that there's no one to train you properly. Basically think about "wh?at will I need to succeed in this role" and "is the company setting me up to get those things?"

@@karaebelofficial Thank you very much for this detailed answer. You're right! It'd depend on the person and the situation. I recently had a company reach out to me offering to work with me on a project and they gave a very vague description of the job and the amount they offered was too good to be true. I asked them to give me more details multiple times and they just kept repeating the same vague description. That felt really suspicious to me and I ended up declining the offer. Your content is very useful! I appreciate your advice :)

[@karaebelofficial]

Aaah, I’ve seen these scams around! Someone in my network posted about it on LinkedIn. They contacted him saying “Do you want to hear about this job offer that pays $300,000 and you work 5 hours a week?” and he replied “No” (just for fun because he knew it was a scam. And they responded “Great, here’s the details…!” and sent the same info again 😅

Excellent content!

[@karaebelofficial]

Thank you! 🙌

[@DavidKnicks]

Good one. Does this work for corporate retail jobs?

[@karaebelofficial]

For sure! Ideally when you’re a couple years into it though. It’s tougher to negotiate when you’re just starting out.
