It’s wild how much we internalize that low value - even within academia. I have 10+ years of relevant experience and still felt unworthy at my first tenure track job interview. Their salary offer was correspondingly low. After researching negotiation strategies, and connecting with the faculty association, I’ve come to see that my value is a lot higher, and fortunately the collective agreement supports that. Fingers crossed that my negotiation letter will move the needle on a higher salary and credit for prior work.
Thanks for the video! Awesome insight. As inexperienced negotiators, how would you recommend that we find out what things are on the table for negotiation? You mentioned company car, housing, stock options, etc. Honestly I would not have thought to ask about those things. Are these types of options also seen in academic job negotiations?

During my 1st interview most organizations have asked me my salary expectation. I always use as reference my previous job plus some benefit. I have also heard that you should KNOW in advance the salary range for that position in that organization and say a number that matches de range. But what would be the correct answer, to this? I have had an experience where I already had a job offer, and they I just said a number higher that that offer, even when the interviewer said the range was almost half of that. I actually had a call back from them, but I already had take the other job. I think, at in all negotiations, you have to have to have some leverage. If there 100 applicants that meet the criteria, you probably have none, same if you have been unemployed for a long time. I think it is also about culture. There are countries where, yeah, companies expect their candidates to negotiate. The are other countries where they will take the cheapest one that meets criteria no matter what and trying to negotiate can even offend the employer. what are you opinions?
I might add that I dont have Phd (only master in science and another in business). I believe that if you have a PHd, you already have a lot of leverage. (only if there is demand for PHds in your region).
