How'd You Get that Raise? A WIT@Work virtual skills session

A well-known statistic around the gender pay gap is that men earn 25% more than women for equitable work. A lesser-known fact is eight times more men are negotiating than women. Only 7% of women negotiated their starting salary last year.

Come listen, learn, and implement negotiation skills from women who’ve successfully negotiated a salary increase for themselves—or for someone else—recount the actions they took, the hurdles they overcame, and the lessons they learned.
