Is it that women get underpaid or is there more to it?
Women and men should also tell every woman they know to negotiate their pay. The first offer is not something anyone has to take, and while this may be self evident here, it isnt everywhere.
- wyclif 12y agoWomen engineers should be encouraged to learn how to negotiate salary themselves, or from a mentor. They should also be encouraged to view salary negotiation as a positive part of their soft skills, rather than a necessary evil.
- rokhayakebe 12y agoI think it is women in all fields. I was talking to a lady friend about a job offer she got and advised she negotiate her salary. From her response it sounded as if I was trying to get her to loose the opportunity.
- learnstats2 12y agoYou can't really negotiate effectively unless you are willing to lose the opportunity. Your friend might be aware that she has fewer opportunities and therefore be less willing to take this risk.

- wyclif 12y agoI wasn't being sexist. The context of the parent comment was women negotiating pay.
