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.

As a CTO-level engineering leader at HelloFresh with 12+ years of experience, I’ve been on both sides of compensation conversations — negotiating my own offers and being directly involved in hiring, leveling, and salary decisions for engineers and managers.

I understand how compensation actually works inside companies — from bands and budgets to negotiation flexibility — and what candidates can realistically push for.

I help engineers and managers approach negotiations with clarity, confidence, and strategy to maximize their offers without risking the opportunity.
