Quotes to ponder:

"From the data, I could see that you generally pay at around the 75th percentile in the ranges for various roles. That is incredible. I’m excited to work for an organization that invests so much in its talent."

"If you negotiate, you will hopefully receive a higher starting salary. That is the expected benefit."

"It gives you the reputation right away that you are not a pushover. People will expect you to advocate for what you want and set boundaries."
