that's great to see that the women mentoring you can show you how far you should go! I'll have to use the bonus tactic one day!

I hadn't really thought this out before, but it completely makes sense. The reason executive women aren't making as much as their male counterparts is that they don't ask. Go get em!

Sorry I’m late to the dance on this one, but I thought I would post this recent and timely issue here, as it seems appropriate:

It’s a tough thing for women to negotiate, as we were not, in large part, raised to think that way. Maybe with some savvy skills, we can all avoid a disappointing situation such as this years down the road.

Budgeting Babe, thanks for the article on the art of negotiating. I am in a place right now where I’m going to need to learn those skills pretty quickly, unless I want to continue to be one of the lowest paid employees in my company, so your advise came at the perfect moment. Wish me luck!

I came across your blog through another blog. Anyways, I’m really loving your blog..dedicated towards budgeting…I’m big on that. Anyways, as for salary negotiation, yes…I get uncomfortable with that as well. But I know that I have to speak up if I’m not happy or else people/companies will step all over you!

Thanks for the suggestions. I just graduated with my masters and my work review is in a few weeks, so I have been trying to prepare for the review and to negotiate new salary and vacation/retreat days.

I have been fortunate in that I have actually always gotten more than I asked for ($2K-$5K more)…makes me wonder if I could have gotten more, hmmm… I did ask around about what to expect salary-wise, so it’s hard to guage sometimes.

I wish to get into forex. Has anyone heard of Forexface.com?
It has plenty of trading tutorials, reviews of forex trading systems, and explanations of how to read the forex charts. Looks like a good starting point.

Such a timely topic. Thank you for sharing your new knowledge.

I work in the public sector, and have worked in the not-for-profit realm as well. I always wonder how some of these same concepts can translate into those areas.
