negotiations, career progression, & ensuring fairness w/ ingrid epure
guest: ingrid epure, senior staff engineer at netlify
- always negotiate, whether it is initial job offers, day to day role decisions, or career progression discussions
- build personal rapport in negotiations by asking questions and listening instead of jumping straight to solutions
- it is okay for your career path to look different over time, lateral moves and team switches are normal and valuable
- set longer term learning goals tied to industry trends instead of comparing your progress to other people's timelines
- push for real representation and equal opportunities for minorities instead of just diversity talk or campaigns
