Gosh! After I posted last week about my New Year’s resolution to make 2024 the year of money and sex, it turns out a lot of you feel the same way, especially on the money front (trust me, I’ll be answering the sex front questions in due course 🙂)  Because I got a lot of questions along similar lines, I’m going to roll them all up into one - ‘How do I get paid what I’m worth?’ It turns out a lot of you find it difficult to ask for money across a spectrum of contexts: salary/pay raise negotiation, freelancing/consultant fees, funding in both for-profit and non-profit contexts. These are my four key principles for how you get paid what you’re worth, that apply across any context in which you need to ask for money.
