এই কোর্সটা বেতন নিয়ে দরকষাকষির আগে ঠিকমতো রিসার্চ করতে শিখিয়েছে, যেটা আগে আমি একদমই জানতাম না। কথা বলার সময় কীভাবে শান্তভাবে সংখ্যাটা চাইতে হয় সেই স্ক্রিপ্টগুলো সত্যিই কাজে লেগেছে। মাঝের কিছু অংশ একটু বেশি লম্বা লাগলেও সব মিলিয়ে অনেক উপকার হয়েছে।

Esse curso me ensinou a pesquisar direito antes de entrar numa negociação salarial, em vez de simplesmente aceitar o primeiro número. Os exemplos de frases pra usar durante a conversa deixaram tudo muito menos assustador. Usei o que aprendi na minha última avaliação e consegui um aumento bem maior do que imaginava.

This gave me an actual framework for figuring out what I should be earning instead of just guessing at a number. The example dialogues for pushing back on a lowball offer were especially helpful going into my review. Some of the material on non-salary benefits felt a bit rushed compared to the core negotiation section.

Sempre tive muito receio de negociar salário e normalmente aceitava o que me ofereciam sem questionar nada. O curso ensina a pesquisar faixas salariais reais pro seu cargo antes de qualquer conversa, o que já muda completamente o jogo. Gostei bastante dos exemplos de diálogo, porque mostram como responder mesmo quando o gestor tenta encerrar o assunto rápido. Segui o roteiro sugerido na minha última avaliação e consegui negociar um valor bem acima do que esperava. Só achei que a parte sobre benefícios além do salário podia ser mais aprofundada, ficou meio corrida perto do final. Ainda assim, mudou completamente como encaro esse tipo de conversa.

This course completely changed how I think about salary negotiation. Instead of vague pep talks it gives you actual scripts and a research framework for figuring out what you should be asking for. I used the counteroffer language almost word for word and ended up with a better number than I expected.

Questo corso mi ha insegnato a fare ricerche serie sul mio valore di mercato prima ancora di aprire bocca in una trattativa. Gli esempi di frasi da usare durante il colloquio mi hanno tolto un sacco di ansia. Ho applicato quello che ho imparato al mio ultimo colloquio e sono uscita con un'offerta decisamente migliore di quella iniziale.

Lần đầu tiên tôi dám đàm phán lương và xin thêm được mức cao hơn hẳn, nhờ cách chuẩn bị số liệu thị trường.

Trước đây tôi luôn nhận đại con số đầu tiên mà công ty đưa ra vì sợ mất cơ hội. Khóa học dạy tôi cách nghiên cứu mức lương thị trường, chuẩn bị lập luận và giữ bình tĩnh khi nói về con số. Phần kịch bản hội thoại mẫu cực kỳ hữu ích, tôi đã luyện theo nhiều lần. Lần review cuối năm tôi áp dụng và được tăng lương rõ rệt. Chỉ tiếc phần đàm phán các phúc lợi ngoài lương hơi ngắn, nhưng nhìn chung rất đáng học.

Nakatulong talaga itong kurso sa pag-research ko bago mag-negotiate ng sahod, mas naging confident ako sa pag-usap sa HR. Yung parte tungkol sa paghahanda ng mga sagot sa possible objections ang pinaka-nagustuhan ko. Medyo mabilis lang ang pace sa gitna kaya kailangan kong i-rewind ng ilang beses.

Depois desse curso finalmente consegui pedir o salário que eu realmente merecia sem gaguejar na hora da conversa.

I have always dreaded salary conversations and usually just accepted whatever number was offered because I didn't know how to push back. This course walks through exactly how to research market rates for your role instead of guessing, which made me realize I had been underpaid for years. The negotiation scripts are laid out clearly, with different responses depending on how the employer reacts, so it never feels like you're improvising blind. I actually practiced the phrasing out loud a few times before my review, which felt a little silly but genuinely helped. When the moment came I stayed calm and asked for a specific number backed by data, and got most of it approved on the spot. This is the first time a negotiation actually felt like a conversation I was steering instead of one happening to me.
