Ep153: MalaysianPayGap banned | The pros & cons of salary transparency pages.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses the pros and cons of researching salary using pay transparency platforms, emphasizing the importance of context and self-reflection in salary negotiation.
Key Highlights
💡 Researching salary online provides a starting point for salary negotiation by providing a rough idea of what others in similar positions are earning.
💡 Context is crucial when comparing salaries as factors like company size, responsibilities, and expertise can influence pay differences.
💡 Protecting mental health is important, and if comparing salaries online causes negative emotions, it is best to focus on self-improvement and personal growth.
💡 Pay transparency platforms are valuable for gaining knowledge, but they should not be the sole basis for determining your worth or negotiating salary.
💡 Self-reflection and understanding your skills and value in the corporate world are essential for successful salary negotiation.
💡 Success stories of others making higher salaries should serve as inspiration for self-improvement rather than triggering negative emotions.
💡 Learning the right career strategies and developing valuable skills are key to increasing your earning potential.
