2. Surround yourself with problem solvers rather than complainers. This is the only way to grow.
4. Know that you can't please everyone. Just be clear about what you want and forget about what others think of it.
6. Wanting a good lifestyle for yourself is not a bad thing. Never be ashamed of owning up your dreams.
8. The hardest thing to earn is trust. If you focus on building trust, you'll never run out of opportunities.
10. You need to master communication skills. Getting what you want gets easier when you convey it well to yourself and others.
12. Everything gets boring after a certain point. What matters is how you find interesting ways of doing it everyday.
14. Find people who are as excited about an idea as you are. Otherwise, they'll make the journey worse for you.
16.Looking for external validation is the worst thing you can do to yourself. If you know deep inside that you are meant for it you are.

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK
