In the final episode of HerHax Podcast’s Hacking your Career miniseries, Christine and Lauren take a deep dive into the last stages of the recruitment process: negotiating your final job offer!  While salary remains important, we emphasize that compensation goes beyond just the number on your paycheck. Lauren and Christine explain the other components that you should consider and inquire about before accepting an offer and signing that dotted line. Discover how to compare numbers across multiple offers, understand the significance of base pay, stock options, bonuses and other forms of compensation. Explore the potential of game-changing fringe benefits like remote work, a flexible schedule, lots of vacation, paid childcare, or a home office reimbursement, and calculate your "chill-to-pay" ratio. Lastly, Christine and Lauren will leave you with some valuable negotiation techniques to feel more at ease during compensation discussions and get paid what you’re worth!
