Speaking of salary negotiation, Patrick's article[0] on it is one of the single most valuable things I've read in my career. I can probably attribute about 25% of my salary to it.
Agreed. I recently changed jobs for the first time since his article was written, and it was extremely useful to me. I strayed from some of the advice, but what that essay did was give me the confidence to negotiate and some very effective tools to use. So thanks Patrick, from another very happy 'customer'.
Thanks, that made my morning.
Seriously, everyone should read this.
"How to ensure everyone is paid fairly" would be a "must read". This is more of a "Employers and potential employees are expected to try and screw each other out of as much money as possible - Here's how you can help perpetuate that!"
That's a pretty uncharitable view of it. I would characterize it as "Your potential employer is going to do everything it can to pay you as little as they can get away with. Here's how to maximize what they DO pay you."
