In this episode, the discussion between Kip and Jason is about the top five mistakes people are making when it comes to negotiating their pay. You need to know what mistakes to avoid when discussing your compensation because it can set you up for a bad experience and affect you for years.

When you start a new position, this is usually when you can take advantage of negotiating your salary. It is important to note that when it comes to annual raises, the likelihood of you receiving a high percentage pay raise isn’t likely. That is why negotiating your pay from the beginning is your best bet.

While June and July are traditionally not considered hiring season, in the US and Canada, this week’s topic is good preparation for the coming fall when hiring may start to pick back up and you are applying and negotiating your pay.
