• Brianna Doe, a 30-year-old senior marketing manager, negotiated a $15,000 pay increase by using a strategic script during the salary negotiation process.
She started by asking the hiring manager for the salary range budgeted for the position and then provided a clear salary range that was $5,000 more than her desired compensation.
After three rounds of interviews, Doe reiterated her desired range, resulting in a salary offer of about $170,000, and she happily accepted the job at a fintech startup.
