“We analyze pay across our team. Pay discrepancies and career progression. Is it the same across groups? Even minor discrepancies can add up. I’ve seen $40000 pay gaps. The only thing to do is make people whole immediately.” @attackgecko #LeadDevAustin

Acceptable answers to which include: “Well clearly you didn’t put this team of high performing people together by luck, so let’s table the negotiation for the moment and talk about whether this is a good fit, and if it is we will find a mutually acceptable number.”
“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic. Always. No, your company is not an exception.

Instead of asking a coworker the ol' usual "What can we improve on?" try one of these questions: - When have you felt bored in the past quarter? - Is there any red tape you’d like to cut at the company? - What’s a recent situation you wish we'd handled differently? Why?

What motivated this is that I’m a guest on an upcoming episode of The People Stack Podcast (podcast.thepeoplestack.com/), hosted by @JBunky . It was a great interview and I will post a link to that as soon as it’s up.

Your ability to hire is a partially function of the size of your network. Take every offer to meet and have coffee/tea.
