Ten minutes of negotiation could get you 10k, easily. I don't come across more high leverage uses of my time than that. And with more money, you can do cool things like start a scholarship or otherwise give your money away. It's money you almost didn't have anyway, right?
- pmelendez 14y agoOh.. don't get me wrong, it is not like I don't care about money, it's just I don't have the personality to do that. It's just like haggling. Sure, I would prefer having two cool things instead of one when you go to those markets, but I just don't the personality (or skills?) to bring that up. And in my circle of friends I am not alone, which makes me think that it might be a more common problem that I would imagined.
- aantix 14y agoWhy are you insecure about it? I'd encourage you to explore the feelings that arise inside of you when negotiations occur. And if you can't do the haggling in person, defer on negotiating a number at that time and then negotiate over email?
