In this episode of The First Job Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how entry-level employees can develop negotiation skills even when they have little formal power. Using the example of a junior analyst at a mid-size consulting firm who successfully negotiated a 10 percent raise after eight months, they break down the preparation, timing, and framing that made it work. Lucas shares a specific technique called 'interest-based negotiation' and explains how to practice it in low-stakes settings like client calls or project deadlines. Luna brings in research from the Harvard Negotiation Project showing that people who negotiate their first salary earn over $1 million more over a career. They discuss common mistakes—like anchoring too low or treating negotiation as confrontation—and offer a simple three-step framework for any first-job situation. The episode ends with a reflection on how negotiation is a skill you build over time, not a single conversation. #Negotiation #FirstJob #EntryLevel #SalaryNegotiation #Careers #HarvardNegotiationProject #InterestBasedNegotiation #Lucas #Luna #Fexingo #BusinessPodcast #CareerSkills #ProfessionalDevelopment #NewGrads #JobOffer #Raise #ConflictResolution #Communication Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
