How would you feel if you are working at a certain company, the company gave you the salary you asked for, and then you found out that a man with similar or identical experience and skills and background, was making significantly more than you?

I would feel like an idiot for not doing more research and lowballing myself 🫠

Also, by now, everyone should know: In employment negotiations: YOU ALWAYS ASK FOR MORE THAN ACTUALLY WANT/EXPECT! Then let them counter your offer and hopefully, because you went high, they’ll give you closer to what you want. If the low ball you then, ask to meet in the middle, which should be close to your target.
