"I have switched companies several times over the past few years but always felt that negotiating my offer was the portion of the job search I was least prepared for. I am so glad that I worked with Gerta this time. She helped me confidently navigate the negotiation process to advocate for myself. Gerta knows what negotiation strategies and tactics work in the current market; I learned a lot from her. They ended up significantly increasing my equity package and doubling my sign-on bonus!"
Cathy Lin

Prev: Amazon, Microsoft
"I had a very tight deadline and Alex was able to accommodate me and had a call with me over the weekend. We discussed the process and the very next day, Gerta worked with me 1:1 for over an hour and came up with a negotiation plan. The pricing is very transparent and you only pay on the "additional" sum you get! Throughout the process, Gerta was prompt in her replies as I was continuing the negotiations. I highly recommend YourNegotiations.com for any and all of your negotiations! I can assure you that Alex and Gerta will be of immense help."

"I can't thank you enough for the support, patience, knowledge, and confidence you gave me to negotiate. This was the first time in my career I even considered negotiating. Like so many working moms in tech, I’ve fallen into the trap of feeling grateful just to receive an offer. I know for a fact I wouldn’t have negotiated without your guidance, and I’m incredibly grateful that you helped me recognize my worth and confidently advocate for it."
Rachel Kohn | Director of Product, Zynga

"Gerta was so much more than a coach during my last job offer negotiation. She’s an incredible listener, which meant she was there to not only advise me but also encourage me when I needed it most. Her ability to leverage knowledge from helping past clients is so powerful, and it gave me the confidence to pursue a package I wanted but would have been too afraid to ask for otherwise. She was always available via phone, text, and email whenever I needed her, which was crucial when things were moving fast in my negotiations. Working with Gerta is a no-brainer!"

"Working with Gerta was very empowering! She helped me negotiate a raise and I ended up with nearly exactly what I asked for. She's clearly passionate about helping others get what they deserve and I'm thankful for her support and for making the process less overwhelming and stressful."

"It was so helpful to have Gerta support me throughout my job negotiation. I had a lot more questions than I expected, such as whether to have certain conversations over call vs email, what to say in different scenarios and to different people, how to move things forward, etc. Knowing that someone so knowledgeable and experienced was my partner in this whole process was incredible, I’m so grateful for her support."
"This course truly transformed my negotiation skills. With Gerta and Alex's guidance, I secured a remarkable 30% increase in cash compensation as well as significant improvements to my overall comp package. What impressed me the most was Gerta's ability to anticipate my company's negotiation tactics, empowering me to navigate any situation with confidence. I not only gained the confidence to believe I deserved more but also acquired the skills to make it happen."

"Before meeting Gerta, I was nervous about negotiations and asking for what I wanted. Despite my education and work experience, I was in the US on a visa, so I felt that I didn’t have much leverage in the negotiation. Gerta showed me that it’s not only okay to ask but that it can actually be a positive indication to your employers and a positive experience overall. She helped me build a case for why I deserved more, and I secured additional comp and a commitment for immigration support that I didn’t even know was within reach."

"I can't believe the amount of money and benefits I have would left on the table without Gerta's support! She was amazing throughout the entire process, from the first recruiter screening all the way through to signing my final offer. Her experience and expertise was so helpful and after applying her negotiation strategies, my final offer was SO much better than the original one!"

"Thanks to Gerta, I'm equipped to handle this daunting negotiation process. And more importantly, I actually feel (dare I say) empowered during a time when — thanks to the surplus of laid off talent — it's easy to feel dejected and without leverage."
"I’m really glad that I worked with Gerta on negotiating my offer! She helped me navigate tricky situations, like knowing when and how to push back and sensing when I’ve received the best and final offer. Because Gerta has worked with so many people across different roles, industries, and companies, she knew the right tactics and language to use in this difficult market. Working with her gave me confidence and the reassurance I needed to navigate this high-stakes process. Her guidance led to a meaningful overall bump up in my comp, with a shift towards a higher base salary that I wanted. I feel confident that I didn’t leave any money on the table. Thank you for being in my corner, Gerta!"

"I can't express enough gratitude for the wisdom you shared about compensation negotiation. By the end of my negotiation, I ended up getting a little more than the upper end of the range. I went into this process with curiosity about how your advice would play out, and it not only led me to a compensation I never thought was possible for me so soon, but it also took so much of the daunting uncertainty of whether I was making the right moves. It more than beat my expectations, and I'm elated with the outcome. Thank you so much for your efforts, time, and wisdom - I'm sharing my success story with everyone who cares to hear about it like gospel. Just wanted to take the time to thank you, wish you well, and let you know how you've changed at least one person's life!"

"Gerta provides an incredibly helpful service. Even though negotiating with my future employer was nerve-wracking at some points, getting Gerta's insights and working with her through the process made me feel more empowered, more self-aware, and to view negotiations in a completely different light - as a game as she says! The process felt better working with someone I trusted as an expert in negotiations."

Unlimited 1:1 support for job seekers
Unlimited 1:1 support for job seekers
Our promise: Get the highest compensation possible in your next job offer while preserving, or even strengthening, your candidacy and the relationship with the company. We’ll be in the trenches with you throughout the entire negotiation process in the background.
Who is this for: Job seekers applying to corporate and startup roles
When should we work together:
Many people assume negotiations start when you get a job offer. However, by that point, you may have already lost your negotiation leverage along the way. For example, when an online job application or a recruiter on a screening call asks you what your preferred salary is, that’s a negotiation move you need to be prepared for as it affects the initial offer you will get (or whether you even get an offer!).
To that end, we ideally start working together before you start submitting job applications.
What does working with us look like: Gerta would be your negotiations co-pilot, providing unlimited support including drafting emails, preparing for calls, practicing live negotiations and responses, and more.
How long do we work together for: However long it takes until you sign an offer. We can ramp our calls/emails up or down depending on how your job search is going. At the beginning, you may have one-off questions such as how to respond to the online applications and handle initial recruiter screening calls, while before and after you get the verbal offer, we’ll be working together more intensely.
How much does this cost: A flat fee + nominal success fee equaling a small % of the increase of the first year compensation value. The success fee comes only from the extra money we help you negotiate, not your total comp (e.g. if your initial offer has $250K first year comp and we help you negotiate it up to $270K, then the success fee is a small % of $20K). If no increase is achieved, then you don't pay any success fee.
Results: Most of our clients increase their offers by tens of thousands of dollars (on average we help people increase their offers by $93K, and as much as $550K *on top of* the initial offer).
