According to the American Association of University Women, women made $500 billion less than men last year and these numbers are slow to change. There is an uncomfortable and awkward dance that accompanies asking for more, but if you don’t ask, you don’t get. We’re taught not to ask for a number or to even address compensation, at least not until they offer you the role. Even if we know we need to ask, we don't know how to ask. You have to constantly prepare your ask(s) and think strategically about what’s next and the value of that seat.
