Money loves me, I love money. Money comes to me easily and effortlessly from all directions, from all known unknown positive sources, and from best opportunities with harm to none, this or better! Thank you! 😂😀😇 Added few more words I always use in my affirmations related to money... 👍Money is also an energy so we must love it and it loves us back infinitely... 🧿

I negotiated an offer this morning and waiting for their respond! Very nervous now! I’m panicked what if they they withdrew the offer 😭😭😭 I felt better after watching your video ♥️ Thanks

Let me try to co-relate and summarise:

1. Going through interview process is like discussions that happen between families and potential couples going into "arranged marriage"

2. Going through salary negotiations is like proposing a person that one loves, after "arranged marriage" is confirmed, with a fear and hesitation of getting rejected

😅😅

Hi Sonal,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, based your last video (How to negotiate Salary), I had followed the steps which you have shared and finally I got 80% of hike in my current working organization, which I had been struggling for last 10 years. So please keep post this video and inspire the people.

Money loves me! I made couple of those mistakes in my 20 years repeatedly. I wasn't negotiating at all due to fear of rejection or gave up at first place when the recruiter said they can't offer what I asked for even it was fairly reasonable ask which I later realized. Thanks for helping to break that fear.

You won't believe, in the past 3 months I have got through 3 interviews anf nailed them with a lot of your guidelines...My brain is auto tuned to your strategies I guess...Since I watch them on repeat and then customize which fits to my role.
Thanks for the lovely content.

Money loves me! 💰❤️ and we love you, Sonal!
One more great video. Thank you very much for bringing this one out!
It happened with me once where I was trying to negotiate the offer explaining to them why I deserve higher pay and what benefits can I bring to the table, based on my education & experience. It turned out that they were pretty rigid, didn’t value my worth, and to the contrary, termed me as a money-minded person!
I initially felt that I lost a good offer, which it was, but then felt blessed that it’s good it didn’t work out. Maybe it might have brought the stress out of me instead of the best out of me! 😮‍💨

Money loves me😊 thank you for the guidance. Going into negotiation this week

[marybethluna]

Money loves me. Love your podcast! Great info for a novice like me.

[hollyproctor]

Money loves me. I've actually never negotiated my salary. The last time I interviewed was 22 years ago and I was happy with my offer. Now I find myself interviewing and I have been selected as a finalist. I see that salary has a starting #. I want to negotiate and I was able to locate the very transparent salary info for what looks like everyone in the company including the exact title/role I'm going for. I don't want to seem arrogant but I do know where I want my # to land. Your videos have helped me immensely and I'm hoping to get that question along with an offer soon🤞🏾. Thank you for your videos. Money loves me 😁💵

[susimuthusamy]

Money loves me. I watched your salary negotiation. Thank you so much for tips. For the 1st time after working with so many companies, I did negotiate but I didn't go as much as I wanted because I am sort of content with what I am offered with.

[grnhonu]

Thank you so much. I’m watching as much as I can. I’m 53 and for the first time in my life I’m going to try to negotiate. It’s an odd situation but I need to do it. I live in Hawaii and hope I can get to schedule one of those small chats with you before I go in.

[alexanderzharkov]

As a fresh graduate, I refused to negotiate my salary at my first job. The second job was even worse. Now I damn ready to negotiate salary)
