EP 5. When to Start Preparing for a Salary Negotiation (It’s Earlier Than You Think)

Evie Prete Season 1 Episode 5

Most people believe salary negotiation prep takes a week — but true negotiation success starts months before you ever talk numbers. In this episode, Evie breaks down the mindset, research, and strategy needed to confidently negotiate a five-figure salary increase. 

Evie explains why mindset work is the most overlooked part of negotiation and how limiting beliefs around money influence your confidence, communication, and outcomes. She also details how to conduct market research, assess your compensation goals, quantify your skills, and role-play different negotiation scenarios. 

If you want to negotiate without fear, second-guessing, or overwhelm, this episode gives you a clear roadmap.
