PANEL DISCUSSION

A study of MBA graduates showed that men's starting salaries are on average 7.6% higher than women's. However, this is not that men are more competent than women, but whether they are bargaining. The survey showed that half of male graduates would negotiate their salary while they are hired for their first job, but only one-eighth of female graduates would do so, and nearly 90% of women gave up negotiations at all.

So the research shows women are afraid of negotiating their salary. On top of that, Asian women sometimes are more constrained by the conservative family and the society and are more concerned to negotiate the salary or ask for a raise! So for this meetup, we are going to talk about this problem and our amazing panelist will share their tips about how they tackled the problem and aced their game at the workplace.
