A month later, I get an offer from them for triple the amount. What? And I'm like, triple? This is not how I thought negotiations were supposed to go. Turns out they had emailed me twice and had gone to my spam folder, and they thought that my silence was a negotiation tactic, which guess what? It is. Wow.

So I thought, this is a very good teachable moment for me because I 1,000% would have said yes immediately to that first number we discussed, but it turns out I was, quote, worth it. Triple, actually.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, also, I don't recommend that people negotiate over email because nuances are lost. And especially for women and women of color, we are looked at as aggressive when we're just being assertive. How do you kind of caveat that or soften it? positive body language, you're excited, you smile. I hate to tell women to smile, but it matters. So you can say that strong number.

Text could be the exact same thing a man says, but we have to do that extra step of, I really hate to say that, but there's research. There's research that shows when we don't act positive, then we're defaulted to this nasty woman. So I have the quote, you know, what is it? Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did, but backwards in heels. Like, that's why it's exhausting to be us.

If you know that there is research behind it and you are playing the game of capitalism... It's just a game. It has nothing to do with your actual worth as a human being. You are priceless. But in this system that is set up, I mean, I'm sure you talk about how money it's real, but it's fake. It's a made up system that we've all bought into literally.
