I used to freeze every time the conversation turned to money. My palms would sweat. My voice would shake. And inevitably, I'd accept whatever number they threw at me—grateful they even offered me the job in the first place.
Meanwhile, the guy who started seven months after me? He negotiated $12k more than my starting salary, plus a full benefits package I never had.
That's when it hit me: I wasn't being underpaid because I wasn't good enough. I was being underpaid because I wasn't asking.
Now my daily struggle with being chronically underpaid included:
Watching less qualified men get hired at salaries $6,000-$20,000 higher than mine for the exact same role
Lying awake at 2 a.m. doing mental math about how much money I've left on the table over my entire career
Feeling my stomach drop when performance review season approaches because I know I should ask for more but have no idea how to do it without being "that woman"
Second-guessing everything I say during salary discussions while the men in my office throw out numbers with jaw-dropping confidence
I tried everything the "experts" suggested:
Watching less qualified men get hired at salaries $6,000-$20,000 higher than mine for the exact same role
Being called "greedy," "cumbersome," or "aggressive" every time I tried to advocate for myself
Lying awake at 2am doing mental math about how much money I've left on the table over my entire career
Feeling my stomach drop when performance review season approaches because I know I should ask for more but have no idea how to do it without being "that woman"
Second-guessing everything I say during salary discussions while the men in my office throw out numbers with jaw-dropping confidence
And then I hit rock bottom...
I found out the junior guy on my team—the one I trained—was making $18,000 more than me.
$18,000. For the same work. Actually, less work, because I was still covering for him.
When I asked HR about it, they said his "starting salary was based on his previous role." My starting salary? Also based on my previous role. Except he negotiated. I didn't.
I sat at my desk staring at that number and realized: I had been doing this all wrong. I was waiting to be "rewarded" for good work in a system designed to reward the audacity of men who ask for more before they've even proven themselves.
Then I Discovered Something That Changed Everything...
I started studying the women who DID successfully negotiate. The ones who got 20% raises. The ones who countered initial offers and got an extra $20k. The ones who weren't afraid to walk away.
And I noticed a pattern.
What I learned shocked me:
According to research on salary negotiation outcomes, professional women ask for 30% less than their male counterparts for identical roles:
Men asked for $180k for jobs worth $140k. Women asked for $125k. Completely unqualified men asked for $130k.
70% of the pay gap isn't about discrimination during negotiations—it's about women not negotiating at all
Women fear that when they DO negotiate, they're more likely to be labeled "difficult," "demanding," or "not a team player"
Women who use the "anchor high, meet in the middle" strategy increase their starting salaries by an average of 18-22%
But most alarming of all:
Most professional women are unknowingly reinforcing their own underpayment by accepting the first number offered, failing to research market rates, and letting imposter syndrome convince them they should be "grateful" for any offer.
I know because I was making all these
same mistakes...
Through extensive research and consultation with:
Salary negotiation experts who've helped thousands of women close the pay gap
HR professionals who revealed what REALLY happens behind closed doors during compensation discussions
Successful women who went from being called "greedy" to earning $135k+ and beyond
I discovered WHY traditional approaches fail—and more importantly, what actually works. The problem wasn't that I was a woman. The problem is I simply wasn't asking.
