About this session

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.

Your mentor

Hi! I'm Kayla, a technical recruiting professional with experience hiring and negotiating offers at companies including Google, Rivian, Anduril, Ford, and VulcanForms.

Throughout my career, I've worked directly with hiring managers, executives, HR, and compensation teams to navigate complex offers, competitive compensation packages, and negotiations across technical, leadership, and executive-level positions.

**I've spent years on the other side of the negotiating table, and now I want to help you advocate for yourself with confidence.**

Salary negotiation is about more than asking for a higher base salary. Understanding compensation structures, equity, bonuses, benefits, and the factors that influence hiring decisions can make a meaningful difference in your career earnings.

During our session, we'll focus on:

- **Offer evaluation:** Understanding your compensation package and identifying potential areas for negotiation.
- **Negotiation strategy:** Developing a realistic approach based on your experience, priorities, and the opportunity.
- **Compensation conversations:** Preparing what to say, when to say it, and how to communicate your expectations confidently.
- **Total compensation:** Exploring base salary, equity, sign-on bonuses, benefits, and other negotiable components.
- **Practical preparation:** Creating talking points and practicing difficult conversations so you feel ready to advocate for yourself.

Whether you're anticipating an offer, evaluating one you've received, or negotiating a promotion, my goal is to help you approach the conversation strategically, professionally, and confidently.

Let's make sure you're prepared to advocate for the value you bring!
