Join us on November 22 for a workshop by The Thoughtful Co on salary negotiation. In architecture and engineering, women make on average 15% less than their male peers with the same education and experience. This workshop will enable you to feel confident in asking for the compensation you deserve.

The Thoughtful Co will cover everything from how to navigate asking your manager for more money, to what you should be looking for before signing a new employment contract. The workshop includes time for group discussion and Q&A to ensure all your questions are answered.

Key takeaways include:

• What pieces of compensation & benefits are appropriate to push on (beyond salary)
• How compensation decisions are made within employers
• What you should and shouldn’t use as rationale for a pay increase
• The biases women face in negotiations, and how to work around them
• When you should be bringing up compensation, and how to frame the ask

This workshop is led by Jillian Climie, who has spent her career in executive compensation, and Sophie Warwick, who specializes in developing in-house gender equity policies and chairing Employee Resource Groups
