About the webinar
This webinar will provide advice for how to plan for a negotiation as well as how to negotiate a job offer. Insights provided will be applicable to various offers in industry and non-industry roles. The webinar will start with an overview of the various components of a job offer, including base salary, benefits, bonus, equity, and other details in order to help the person negotiating evaluate the “total package” for the offer. Advice will be provided for how to perform research to identify salary ranges for a given field/role in order to inform the negotiation strategy. Different approaches to negotiate the offer will be discussed with advice for how to engage with the hiring manager / HR person during the negotiation. Timelines for negotiation as well as how to follow up will also be discussed.
A networking session to follow the seminar is currently being planned to facilitate connections between the Chicagoland-area postdocs. Weather permitting, the event will be held on the patio at Pizza Parlor Bar - River North at 6pm on October 21st. Yes, there will be heaters on the patio!
