Salary Negotiation with

Asking for a raise can feel uncomfortable, high stakes, and easy to get wrong. This MentorCruise session is designed to help you approach that conversation with more clarity, confidence, and a real plan. Whether you're preparing for a performance review, stepping into a bigger role, or realizing your compensation no longer reflects your value, this session gives you practical support on how to make your case effectively.

You’ll work with an experienced mentor to clarify your positioning, highlight your impact, and prepare for the conversation itself. Together, you can shape your narrative, practice your ask, and think through how to handle questions, objections, or alternative offers. The goal is not just to ask for more, but to do it in a way that feels thoughtful, credible, and aligned with your long-term career growth.

Across my career at Microsoft and Apple, I've negotiated my way into better compensation and higher leveling than what was initially on the table, more than once. I've also helped friends do the same, from senior engineers countering their first big tech offer to principal-level folks pushing back on a promotion decision they didn't agree with.
In one hour we'll cut straight to your situation: what you have, what's realistic, and exactly how to have the conversation. I can help you get in the right mindset and approach, which is the most important aspect of the negotiations.
