Another great #SAChat, this week on Negotiating Salaries and other Perks. Thank you to Sabina De Matteo and Doug Tate for MODing!
MOD Q1: Have you ever negotiated for a raise/salary during your career, inside or out of SA?#SAChat
A1: I didn't, but looking back, I should have.Especially as a woman, I feel like it's easy to think you can't ask certain questions. #SAChat

A1: Only have outside SA. Much less intimidating/easier to advocate for yourself when you can show how much $$ you made the boss #SAchat

MOD Q2: Do you think that negotiation is a part of the student affairs culture? #SAChat
A2 #sachat I think many people do not negotiate and they should for positions inside and outside SA

A2 best advice was from Dir Career Services who said she's never heard of someone losing a job/offer by negotiating in 20+yrs #SAchat

MOD Q3: In your current position, would you feel comfortable negotiating? #SAChat
A3 Yes, Do it all the time. I'll do as expected, but negotiate deadlines, resources needed for projects, budgets, time away, etc.#sachat

A3. I'd use documentation of my work and comparative institutions/roles. I'd bring it up in advance to prep my supervisor. #SAChat

MOD Q4: Have you ever been on the other side of a negotiation as a manager? What was that like? #SAChat
A4 Not as a manager for salary, but as a lead for other projects/obligations. It was good; I encourage my team to do it. #sachat

Q4: I've been but with student workers. Its interesting, definitely different because we have different needs. #sachat

MOD Q5: What advice would you give someone who wanted to negotiate a raise in SA? #SAChat
A5: For new jobs, show past track records but also what you know you'll bring into new role. #SAChat
— Tiff (@Tiffany_Amelia) June 15, 2017
A5 use facts and figures, growth in programs, demonstrated contributions to institutional goals, be prepared for the exchange.#sachat

MOD FQ: What question do you wish we had asked but didn’t? #SAChat
FA: What perks or allowances would be valuable and influence your willingness to take a job at a lower salary? #SAchat
— Sally Watkins (@SallyRWatkins) June 15, 2017
Do you ever discuss salary with peers? If not, why not? #sachat

MOD FT: What final thought do you have as we close out this #SAChat?
If your quality of work justifies it, Your supervisor likely expects you to want to negotiate.
Also be prepped to be told no. #SAchat
