Hey there, Remote Work Enthusiasts! 👋 

Welcome to The Hired Hub, your go-to podcast and newsletter where we empower remote professionals—especially our amazing Latin American talent—with the tools, insights, and confidence to thrive globally. In Episode #19, your hosts Gaby and Jess unravel one of the most powerful (yet often overlooked) career skills: salary negotiation. 

Whether you’re landing your first remote job, renegotiating after being hired, or navigating salary expectations in the international market, this episode is packed with real talk and practical tips to help you earn what you truly deserve. 

💸 Why Salary Negotiation Matters (Even More Remotely) 

It’s no secret that many professionals—especially early-career or entry-level remote workers—shy away from salary talks. Fear of rejection, cultural norms, and lack of information often hold people back from negotiating after a job offer. 

But here’s the truth: not negotiating your salary could cost you hundreds of thousands over your career. According to a study by Glassdoor, 68% of employees accept the first offer they receive. Meanwhile, those who negotiate typically earn 7%–10% more—right off the bat. 

So if you’re wondering how to negotiate salary for a new job, or even months into your current one, it’s time to upgrade your mindset. 

🌍 Salary Negotiation in the International Market 

Remote work has unlocked global opportunities, but it’s also introduced a new layer of complexity: international salary negotiation. 

Different regions mean different expectations.  

For example, a developer in Argentina might be offered less than a counterpart in the U.S., despite equal skills. That’s where Hired Remoteli comes in: we connect Latin American talent with U.S.-based companies that value skills fairly and pay in USD. 💸 

In this episode, Gaby and Jess discuss emotional salaries—non-monetary benefits like time-off flexibility, mental health support, and work-life balance—that can be just as valuable as base pay. Understanding the full compensation package is essential before accepting or renegotiating an offer. 

💡 Pro Tip: When negotiating internationally, always research market averages in both your region and the employer’s country using platforms like Levels.fyi or Glassdoor. 

😬 Why People Hesitate to Negotiate 

So why is it so hard to ask for more? 

Jess and Gaby dive into the mindset behind this fear—especially in Latin American cultures, where “being grateful” is often seen as more important than “asking for more.” But gratitude doesn’t mean undervaluing your worth. 

Common fears: 

• “What if they say no?” 

• “I don’t want to seem greedy.” 

• “What if they take back the offer?” 

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. But here’s a reframe: negotiation is a conversation, not a confrontation. 

💡 According to CareerBuilder, 56% of employers say they expect salary negotiation—but only 38% of candidates do it. 

📈 How to Negotiate Your Salary After Being Hired 

Already working remotely and feeling underpaid? It’s not too late to advocate for yourself. 

Jess and Gaby suggest these essential steps to renegotiate your salary mid-role: 

1. Track your wins — Have a clear list of contributions, KPIs hit, and added responsibilities. 

2. Schedule a focused conversation — Don’t bring it up casually. Request a dedicated meeting. 

3. Know your benchmarks — Use data to support your ask, not emotion. 

4. Be flexible — Consider alternate forms of compensation if a raise isn’t immediately possible (e.g. time-off, bonuses). 

🧰 Proven Tips for Salary Negotiation Success 

Here are a few salary negotiation tips to keep in mind: 

• Practice your pitch out loud. 

• Avoid giving a specific number first—ask for their range. 

• Frame your ask around value, not need.
