The labor market is determining the offers of fair compensation – executive pay is determined by industry
More professionals are walking away from low-ball pay
Stacey says it might be best to have the conversation up front – give a range at best
Offer the detailed conversation after the interview process, but don’t finalize before then
We discuss whether salary discussion in the workplace is a good thing
We discuss whether negotiation is possible after being “fired” – Stacey says “Absolutely!”
