Getting Paid Like a Boss

Presented at Diana Initiative 2020 Virtual, Aug. 22, 2020, 1 p.m. (60 minutes).

Described as the "talk I wish I had when I was starting out", come get all your compensation questions answered. When you are comparing job offers or a raise, what does everything like "Total Compensation" really mean? When they are offering equity, stocks, restricted stock, stock options, or talking about their employee stock purchase plan, what does that mean to you? When do you get those stocks? Do you have to pay for them? Are they guaranteed? What's vesting mean anyway? Do you know how to negotiate multiple offers and make sure you're getting paid for your experience? Learn all about the basics (and where to do more research) on all the terms that might get tossed your way. You'll be in a better position to understand, research, and negotiate all the bells and whistles that come with tech job offers.
