Barracks To Boardrooms: Negotiating Your Salary After Serving In The Military

People lose out on thousands of dollars every year because they don’t think they have the leverage to negotiate their salaries. But YOU can learn the skills, strategies, and scripts to negotiate without fear, prove your value to your employer, and get paid what you’re worth.

“Not negotiating can be more costly than you think…a 25-year-old who negotiated a starting salary…will earn $634,000 more than a non-negotiator [in their lifetime].” – Who Asks and Who Receives in Salary Negotiation
