Testing the Limits

Negotiating payment has always been difficult for me, and this time was no different. When my new employer asked me my rate in the middle of last year, I immediately low-balled, convinced that I didn’t deserve the salary that I actually wanted because I am a fairly recent college graduate. Months down the line, I realize how much this decision has cost me in pride and financial stability, and how I let another door to opportunity close.
