The last episode of the 2019-20 season offers guest Cynthia Pong, J.D., an opportunity to give women of color tips to negotiate salary more effectively.

Payscale’s survey from 2016 shows salary for women of color are 54-90 cents per dollar of what a man earns.

More about Cynthia:

Here are some highlights from our conversation:
  • It’s essential to negotiate, stand up—and ask for more because it makes it easier – and raises the bar – for marginalized communities.
  • Conversely, giving up opportunities to negotiate contributes to a race to the bottom.
  • When preparing for your negotiation, think of what you’d ask for if you were negotiating for someone else.
  • Play toward stereotype bias (everything is intersectional).
  • For example, Black women are perceived to be dominant. So being assertive plays toward your stereotype bias.
  • Asian women are perceived to be competent. So focusing on skills and your past track record can be helpful.
  • You are the expert on you.
  • Whatever you learn, adapt it to your situation and circumstances.
  • No one knows the landscape you’re facing, the people you’re dealing with, and the background and context of the situation as well as you do.

If you more help with your job search, go back to the archives and download the shows from Apple podcasts. Look out for the video series this summer. As you know, this is the last show of the season.
