This course largely focuses on new job offer negotiations to illustrate my principles, but what you learn will be applicable to common situations any working person will encounter in their career. I also dedicate time to cover negotiations in broader contexts as well as offer a 1:1 call to every student for tailored guidance.

No, in fact, negotiating shows you have good business acumen. Advocating for yourself shows you'll know how to advocate for your company, team, users, and clients too. Additionally, experienced negotiators expect you to negotiate and will often give you a lower first offer, so by not negotiating, you will be leaving money on the table.

If you have an offer or urgent need that is due before the course is over, you may benefit more from working with me one on one. Reach out to me at gerta@yournegotiations.com to learn more about my 1:1 consulting options.

There are typically 3-4 live sessions over the course of a week, as well as your 1:1 coaching call with me that you will schedule via my Calendly.

Live sessions can take place at varying times of the day depending on the cohort, and I'll work with you after you register to accommodate your time zone.

Though every situation is unique, if you follow my guidance as taught in this course, you will almost certainly achieve some level of compensation increase. Yes, even in this tough environment of mass layoffs and while it's an employers market.

The course is a good fit for all of the below:

• Roles in tech, from big tech (e.g. FAANG) to tech startups
• Roles in tech-adjacent industries (e.g. biotech, edtech)
• Technical roles (e.g. software engineering, engineering manager)
• Non-technical roles (e.g. PM, PMM, ops, design, UXR, research)

• Roles in industries with inflexible pay structures or rigid career progression (e.g. medical, public education, government)

Absolutely, this is actually the ideal time for this course. Negotiations begin as early as the first call with the recruiters. My course will equip you with crucial knowledge that will help you avoid making costly mistakes early on.

You benefit a lot more from getting help earlier on. However, even at this stage, you can still learn how to navigate those final important negotiations moves that may lead to significant compensation increases.

At minimum, you'll still get important learnings that you can apply towards getting a raise, a promotion, or future job offers.

If you follow my guidance exactly as taught in this course, your offer will not get rescinded by trying to negotiate. My approach emphasizes always being professional, nice, and enthusiastic about the company, thus minimizing the chances of a rescinded offer. Even companies that say they don't negotiate still expect you to negotiate!

Every session will be recorded, except the bonus one-on-one coaching call. However, I strongly recommend attending live to be able to practice your negotiations skills and get personalized feedback from me.

If for any reason your plans change and you can no longer participate in the course, you can get a full refund up until 24 hours before the first session of your cohort. In that case, I also ask if you would be open to moving your enrollment to a future cohort, as that saves significant admin effort and payment processing costs.
