302 cards
This deck walks you through the fundamentals of salary negotiation, from the preparation stage all the way through responding to common recruiter questions. You'll explore key concepts like market research, compensation ranges, total compensation, and the role of anchoring in setting the tone of a conversation. The cards also cover practical tactics, such as how to handle requests for your current salary, why giving a single number can be risky, and how to navigate a situation when you genuinely have no idea what a role should pay.
It's a great fit if you're preparing for a job interview, sitting on an offer, or simply wanting to feel more confident the next time pay comes up. Even if you've negotiated before, the deck is a useful refresher on framing your priorities and remembering what information to gather before you ever sit down at the table.
To get the most out of these cards, try spacing your review over several short sessions rather than cramming everything at once, since negotiation is a skill that benefits from repeated recall. One tip from the deck itself: once you start feeling comfortable with the concepts, practice your answers out loud. Saying the words in your own voice makes it much easier to stay calm and clear when a real conversation happens.
