Salary Upgrade Toolkit — Get paid what you're worth

Asking for a raise always made me nervous. My friend @JoshDoody is a pro at it. He's spoke about how it affects developers and designers, and he just gets how employers handle this stuff. He just put all his best tips & tricks into this toolkit. It's good! 👍

Recently interviewed @JoshDoody about the intersection of entrepreneurship and writing. This guy's on top of his game right now. Love seeing Fearless Salary Negotiation diversified into multiple super useful mediums. Josh, it always seems like compensation packages are a black box. Everyone keeps it on the DL, so where should people go to research compensation, even if it's just to get a sense for where they stack up against the market average?

Why I made these video courses Fearless Salary Negotiation began as a book, and now I've added these video courses. The book is great—I'm a big fan ;)—but I found that sometimes people needed to learn the material quickly and they wanted to review specific ideas for specific situations. For example, they might be starting the interview process with a new company the next day, and they wanted to know how to prepare for the first conversation with a recruiter the next day. The book has them covered, but the video courses give them audio and video that helps them prepare and that allows them to review short segments a few times to make sure they're totally ready. Different people have different learning styles, and some people just aren’t going to sit down and read a book, particularly for a non-fiction topic like salary negotiation. I built the video courses because I realized that many people will discover my book because they have a salary negotiation happening right now. For those people, the video courses are better because they can move through them quickly and they can hit specific lessons over and over again to get more comfortable with them. I think there’s a lot of value in having the option to go back and watch a 3-minute video of a concept you’re rusty on rather than searching the book to find that same concept. It’s like having me show you that concept rather than you reading it. Rather than being a chapter you would read, it’s a series of short lessons you can watch and listen to. Some people learn better with video and audio together. Throughout the video courses, I also stop and give action items, so it’s similar to coaching. “Here’s a concept. Now go back to your worksheet and do this thing before you continue.” And they give me a chance to present things in a way that I think will drive the strategy home better.
