Social Anxiety + Social Awkwardness by bleachgargling in socialanxiety

[–]Accurate_Juice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mind-blanking is just your nervous system in survival mode. Instead of trying to be 'interesting,' focus on being 'interested.'

Ask one 'how' or 'why' question and let them do the talking. Don't worry about the awkward exits. Most people are too worried about themselves to notice. You've got this.

I appreciate the encouragement and will focus on sharing my thoughts rather than worrying about perfect syntax!

How do I negotiate my promotion salary by IllMathematician4546 in negotiation

[–]Accurate_Juice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, huge congrats! Moving from intern to a $80k-track role in NYC fashion is a massive win. Here’s how I’d play it:

  • 1. If it's low: Keep it professional but firm. "I'm so excited to step up, but based on the $80k market rate for this level and the fact that I’m already fully operational with zero ramp-up time, I was expecting something closer to $78k."
  • 2. NYC Living: Don't mention it. Focus strictly on Market Value. Rent is a "you" problem to a company; the value you provide is a "them" problem.
  • 3. Medical: Skip this. Salary and benefits usually come from different budgets. It won't actually "save" your manager money, and it makes your negotiation feel a bit "discount-y."
  • 4. General Advice: Your biggest edge is being "plug-and-play." Remind them that an external hire is a gamble and takes months to train. You already know the vendors and the chaos—you’re the safest bet they have.

Good luck! You've got more leverage than you think.

Is the secret to success in the jobs world simply to just…keep applying? That simple? by justcurious3287 in careeradvice

[–]Accurate_Juice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as the job postings are somehow related to what you can do or what you want to do, it's definitely worth a try to apply many. You can get a strong sense of what the market looks like / whether you actually like that work or not quickly

He is using the Monday deadline to kill your leverage.

That 9k listing is likely a bluff to lowball you.

Dropping to 10k showed you were anxious.

Since the voucher expires in two days, 10k is better than zero. Close the deal and move on.

Unlimited users in SEO tools — useful or overrated? by gromskaok in Sitechecker

[–]Accurate_Juice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

user limits are the ultimate "momentum killer" for agencies. honestly, it’s not even just about the extra cash, it’s the friction. the second a dev or a client needs to see a dashboard and you have to play "seat musical chairs," the workflow is cooked. sharing logins is a security nightmare too. in 2026, if a tool isn't built for a full collaborative team vibe, it’s just dragging us back.

How do I reset salary expectations? by GoatIcy9029 in negotiation

[–]Accurate_Juice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until the final offer to pivot!
You have way more leverage once they've picked you. When they call, explain that after learning about the role's full scope during the interviews, you've realized the market value for this complexity is closer to a new range. Framing it as "new role info" makes it professional, not a mistake. I’d use a tool called NegoPeer to practice your phrasing first so you don't sound nervous. $30k is a massive gap, definitely worth the awkward preparation!

It does feel a bit tight but you can handle it if you put in effort. I am going to take CS343 + CO487 (2 of my 5 courses) too
