[00:01:45] 

The majority of employers want you to negotiate and they expect you to negotiate, but they also know that a lot of people do not negotiate. So what do they do? They offer you the lowest salary that they can.

Negotiate and do not be afraid to. Because you are bringing amazing things to the table, that any company would be lucky to have. Value yourself, know your worth. Be okay with advocating for it, negotiating for it and be even more okay with walking away if you need to.
