The Full Story
About
We work with people who feel uncertain about their salaries. These situations can vary by person, such as someone applying for a new job, or possibly someone who is unhappy with their annual raise.
We consult with them to gain an understanding of their salary story. Then, using the information gathered, we build individual salary models.
Although we work with all employees, we are particularly interested in working with women and employees of colors. Both of whom are most likely to be underpaid.
We will work with the individual to help them understand their worth, using data driven analyses. Then, we will provide strategies to achieve their goal.
Mission

Our mission at The Salary Lab is to provide objective analysis and suggestions to help you negotiate salary with evidence-based data with energy, authority and strength.
Vision
To empower people with information about their own human capital so they can feel confident to make informed decisions in their careers and lives.
