What is Negotiating Salary & Job Offers?
Many healthcare professionals accept the first offer without negotiating, often because they are unsure what is negotiable or worry about seeming ungrateful. This course covers researching market pay, understanding the full package beyond salary, timing, preparing your case, negotiating respectfully, handling counter-offers and multiple offers, and what to check in a contract, including for international roles.
