heyo my fellow chloworkers! (only discord peeps will get it heh)
it's been a minute bc ya girl accidentally shipped her memory card and lost a buncha footage for what was supposed to be the next video *_*
tysm for the immense support when i shared my latest career move. i learned a heck ton to negotiate what i want in my next role & this is my brain dump of the precise tactics i used. there's definitely a lot of nuance i couldn't cover, but i hope this is a good start for those of you who need an extra boost to figure out how to tactfully get the things you deserve. the next video is probably gonna be a vlog on my first week at discord as a pm or it may be about everything you need to know about pm interviews.
oh yes if you're seeing this on the first publish date, it's my birthday woo! come thru for a birthday happy hour on twitch this week (i'll put the details in an event in the discord server).

i'm stoked to be reading all your supportive comments around this video. it took me about 18+ hrs to write this video essay (i really wanted it to be good!) for the next week or so, i'll be flying out to see some family for the holidays, so won't be streaming on twitch. come through on IG for holiday week stories! instagram ➭ instagram.com/chloe.shih/ discord ➭ discord.gg/chloeshih twitter ➭ twitter.com/colorsofchloe also comment below if there are topics you want me to cover (career-related or fun)!

This was super helpful Chloe! What if they’re answer is just-this is our budget for talent acquisition

[@morenekoYT]

Your strong sense of justice is admirable Chloe! I've seen your other video (re Tiktok) and I can relate with having values I don't want to be compromised. I've been through a lot of stress during my grad school days because of conflicting values, priorities, and expectations. Your story gives me hope that it'll also be possible for me to find a more fulfilling career (and progression) and be treated as someone who matters and brings value. Thank you! Subscribed to your channel!

[@zinebelmellouki7989]

CHLOE ahhhh ily you're so articulated and articulated while expressing empathy. I will be using your advice for sure, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!

[@heyyitscodi]

Chloe, I love your videos so much! They are incredibly informative, insightful, and SO helpful! Navigating Corporate America as a child of immigrants/POC is already such a crazy struggle--thinking about things like negotiating pay and having career development conversations can be so scary (especially as a fellow Asian American!), but your videos shed a lot of light on these topics. Thank you for sharing your stories. You're doing great things!!

[@chloeshih]

Hi codibear! Ah I’m so glad to hear this honestly. I felt I was shooting in the dark when I first started out in the industry and really didn’t think that things had to play out the way they did. Glad it’s reaching people like you!!! 🥰🥰

[@palimike83]

Thanks Chloe! I'm getting ready to start a role in product management and have been spamming your videos to get ready and get a feel for what's ahead. Your videos are so informative, friendly, and approachable. Thank you!!

[@giumarch5922]

I love your channel so much!! So refreshing.

[@yi-chuncheng9556]

I really like watching your "serious" videos like this instead of other styles of videos. This kind of content makes your channel stand out compared to other female KZbinrs! You're very professional when you talk intelligently without any cursing words, and this makes the audiences like me enjoy and want to keep watching your videos without skipping any seconds. Thank you for sharing your insight on how to negotiate with the recruiters/HR. It's very useful!

[@mollynicholasba7409]

This was the BEST video on negotiation I've ever seen. The specific scripts are SO helpful - it's so hard to know how to phrase these things. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@hannahc8436]

I'm ready for the fun/casual vibessssss!! lol Thank you for all the great tips, Chloe :) I really appreciate how much you broke down each component of negotiating and gave different examples of how to approach them in a not-super-aggressive way. Also congrats on the first sponsor!

[@chloeshih]

omg you're the first person ready for the fun casual vibes😂😂 and I'm glad you appreciate the negotiations breakdown!! I swear it's so awkward for me to say aggressive things and I actually come off as not super confident. I had to find the right language that fits me, which took a lotta time. ALSO 1ST SPONSOR WOO!!! Thank you for your support girl

As a graduate starting out in the tech industry, this is so important to learn! I accepted a role with low salary ("Non-Negotiable") at a big company awhile ago. This week I told them I am opting out as the salary was fixed for roughly a year. Thank you for this video and for encouraging us women to negotiate! :)

[@chloeshih]

Hi Chloe! Oh wow - that’s huge! Happy for you to stand your ground. A lot of first jobs are said to be non negotiable, but that’s just simply not true or it’s not a job ladder the company wants to invest in for long-term talent. I’m happy for you making a courageous choice! Wishing you all the best in your career!!!

[@chloelovesscones]

@@chloeshih Thank you so much Chloe! I tried negotiating before accepting the offer but was slapped with a "non-negotiable" and "all graduates receive the same pay". Now I know better to counter argue that we all come with different skillsets, experience and ambition - therefore it would be unfair to be paid the same. Love your channel and energy, best of luck for your growth and have a wonderful birthday! 💛🥰🥳

[@femkedesign]

I love your channel! Thank you so much for being so open and transparent, especially your recent video on leaving TikTok. We need more women in tech talking about these topics. Thank you and keep it up!

I appreciate you being here too, vz!! Glad the tips and outline have been helpful!!

[@ColinLate]

So glad you made this, Chloe! I find I have to convince my own PMs to negotiate their salaries because they are so. hesitant and I know it will negatively affect them later in their careers if they don't. There is such a strong confidence and knowledge gap between high and lower earners on the same team and that is not why people should have pay disparity. It should be based on their market value, skills and impact.

[@chloeshih]

That's honestly so great that you intentionally make sure your PMs negotiate their salaries! Salaries and comp packages are really still not super transparent and it's hard to know when you're being undervalued. Super big knowledge gap! :< What you're doing is awesome though ~ They're lucky to be on your team!

[@halla7346]

Thank you Chloe! I had an interview yesterday with Salesforce and TOTALLY stumbled on the salary question because they asked me first. I gave a number (that they said fit their budget) but after some thought, I feel I can aim for higher. I like the tactic "I don't have a number in mind right now, what is your budget?" approach. If I make to the offer round, I will use these negotiation tips.

[@agneserinkim]

i am interviewing in tech and also kicked myself after blurting out a number out of fear. 🙈 we got this!!

[@chloeshih]

Ahh yeah it’s always such a trap. :( I’ve had recruiters hustle me hard and I honestly just say “I haven’t had a chance to think through the compensation piece, but I’m definitely looking for something very competitive.” Then boomerang the question back. If pushed again, I say “I don’t think sharing a number right now is a productive use of our time.” And then boomerang again. It’s okay if you have a lower number in the first call. During the offer stage, you should have a chance to push it back up!!

[@chloeshih]

@@agneserinkim yes we got this!!!

[@halla7346]

@@agneserinkim Ahhh I feel you! After I hung up the call I was so annoyed at myself 🤣 It's also harder if we don't know anyone at the company that can provide intel on salary ranges. But we got this for sure!!! In 2022 we aren't settling with our salaries!

Hi Chloe, amazing video! Can you make more videos about your career progression, like college onwards? Including any internships you did, the first job hunt, etc. Have you ever had to make the decision between worse role and big company vs. amazing role and smaller company? Currently facing that problem so would love to hear your opinions

[@chloeshih]

Hiya Tejal! Hm, I can definitely do a whole video describing my entire career including college experiences. For now, I did briefly share my career path in the latter half of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqCXm3mGi5ell9U Hope this helps for now!!

[@TLOGhx]

Thank you so much! I'm currently waiting on an offer from a big tech company and your videos have been insanely helpful. I'm super inexperienced with the whole corporate culture thing and hated the idea of negotiating until I found out another intern at the same company had raised his salary by 1/3! Hope to use these tips if I get low-balled :'[

[@chloeshih]

Wow 1/3 is a substantial amount! I’m rooting for you on your next offer!!! Negotiating is so uncomfortable but it’ll keep happening again in the future, so it’s best to exercise the muscle now!

[@tj_puma]

LOVE THIS!!!

[@rhkilis]

These are some solid tactical tips! I've often heard or read about negotiating from a strategic angle, like what identifying what you're trying to achieve. But this is the first time I've heard the actual tactics of negotiating, which is very eye-opening. One thing I do wonder for myself, though, if these negotiation tactics also work at a traditional non-tech company. They may not be as familiar with these hardball tactics that tech candidates are used to at FAANG companies and just think that you're being rude. (But that might also be my internalizing of the stigma that Asians should just put our heads down and not make waves.)

[@chloeshih]

I actually got most of the tactics from Never Split the Difference (Chris Voss)! His real-world examples were used to negotiate your rent, your salary (in law, consulting, or finance), and hostage situations (which I hope none of us have to experience). Unfortunately, I don't know anything about traditional companies, but nationwide numbers do say that 70% of managers do expect a negotiation conversation when talking about salary. More often than not, negotiating is expected, but we just didn't know. :/ Re: stigma that Asians should put our heads down - UGH I know. I felt horrible in my first few attempts to negotiate years ago. I felt so out of character and misaligned, but I had to have a bunch of people knock it in me that only I can own my compensation. It's truly a tough paradigm shift!

Hey Chloe! Thanks so much for your video, it was really insightful! I'm a fresh grad who just got a PM full-time offer (have done 1/2 PM internships prior). I did not negotiate because I felt that at my experience level it may not have been appropriate. Yet, I know the starting salary does lay the ground for the future. Curious to hear your thoughts on this!

[@chloeshih]

Hi Chloe!! Aww, I'm glad this has been really helpful for you. Also - congrats on getting the PM full-time offer!! So pumpppeeddd! It's all right if you didn't get a chance to negotiate. I think the next step is having a career conversation wtih your manager to talk about salary adjustment, equity refreshers, bonuses, and promotions. I'm gonna work on a video around this topic - it's been highly requested!! Stay tuned! :)

Hey Chloe! Great video. I'm a big fan! I actually have a friend who knows you IRL from CKI in Socal. I was wondering if you had any tips on when you already gave them a number in the first interview?

[@filadelfomendez5931]

I found this helpful. I have a meeting with a company that I have been interviewing with and looks like an offer is coming.

[@amywang7525]

Chloe! Your videos are awesome. Can you share how you build relationships with your mentors?

[@chloeshih]

Ah this is complicated, but: 1. I normally find them organically (through work or friends of friends) 2. I chat with them with I have a very clear objective and I need their tactical advice on it 3. Once I go through the challenge, I execute on their advice immediately and let them know how it was for me and what the result was. Mentors really want to know if the time they invested in me has meant anything. 4. I try to keep strong values for the long-term game in my life and show gratitude to them even when they weren't there to directly coach me through a process. I think I keep my mentors and the advice they give me in a place where it has compounding effects that I can apply in other areas of my life. 5. I also randomly send them messages of things that remind me of them - like a podcast, a video, or meme, etc. These are just light-weight ways to engage with them without always asking for help.

Word of advice: don’t give the first number. If they push, you can offer an observation about the range you’ve researched, but don’t give a number that says “if you pay me this, I’ll be satisfied and won’t negotiate”. Aim for top quartile or half of the band for the role and level you are targeting, and don’t settle. You got this.

[@chloeshih]

hiya! ah yeah, try not to give the first number unless you know exactly what the brackets are. best of luck!!

Currently in this stage. Thanks for the video!

[@chloeshih]

Woohoo! Rooting for you!

How do you get mentors? I find it so difficult to ask for help, and try and do things alone so as not to “bother anyone” but I realize that it isn’t serving me in life at all. This video is so helpful to me. I started my first tech role last year and was grossly underpaid, denied a signing bonus, brought in 4 levels below where people of similar experience and education were. I had no one in my life that worked in tech to ask what to expect. This video will help a lot of people transitioning into tech to advocate for themselves.

Chloe, you speak so eloquently!! Do you have any tips for speaking more eloquently and confidently?

Hi Chloe! Could you consider doing a video on dealing with rejection when applying for jobs? I would love to hear your thoughts :-)

[@chloeshih]

Omg yes this topic is a deep one. Rejection happens way more often than not. Will be adding to my content list!

[@MrHorse16]

@@chloeshih looking forward to it!

[@MrHorse16]

@A Wow did you read my mind? I am hot off a rejection from Google and have been feeling down as a result. I will bear your words in mind :-)

[@Samone8428]

Great information...Thanks for this.

Hi Chloe! Thanks for the video. And the role-play is super helpful because I find it hard articulating my words and expectations (blame my intense anxiety 😂). I'd like if you could give a detailed advice on how to use a batna. I have a meeting tomorrow with the HR of a company, and they'll ask about my compensation expectation. I also have a competing offer from another company but I'd really like to work for the first one. How do I tell them I have a competing offer? And do I tell the HR lead the exact amount the other company is offering? Thanks :)
