Colin and Annie were really amazing to work with! I had multiple offers at numerous companies (Meta, Microsoft, Google, and others) and it was hard to sift through what the right strategy should be through the process. They helped me navigate how to approach each company, met extremely frequently (at peak multiple times a week), and even did mock practice sessions. In the end, the difference between my first offer and final offer was a 7-figure difference. The other aspect was helping me build really deep relationships with the leadership teams at each of the companies, helping me communicate my value, and amazing strategies for navigating the job search process. I highly recommend working with them!

I've learned tremendously from the Valued team through both their free resources and the personalized support I received working with them directly. Annie was exceptional; she responded thoughtfully and quickly to my questions and gave me the confidence to advocate for myself effectively while minimizing risk. It was educational to learn advanced positioning techniques that put my asks in a position of strength. Reflecting back, it's clearer now how I painted myself into a corner in negotiations I'd conducted prior to working with Valued. Even in a tough market, I negotiated a significant total comp increase thanks to Annie and Colin's guidance. While I've navigated salary negotiations before, I walked away with a much stronger toolkit for future negotiations as a bonus. I'm already looking forward to working with Valued again!

It has been extremely valuable working with Annie in my job change journey. She not only directly helped me with the negotiation (leading to a impressive increase of almost 40% in total compensation for first year compared to first offer, which is massive, especially for a senior manager role like mine!), but she gave me a daily, super responsive support, very detailed help, in not just communication with recruiters and hiring managers, but also wisdom and coaching on career growth, offer choice, strategic thinking, even helping reduce the stress of the offer and negotiation process, and much, much more. I'd highly recommend Annie for everyone's journey and I sincerely appreciate her help in this process.

Colin helped me navigate a huge career leap, securing a bigger role, leveling up my responsibilities, and landing a significant salary increase—over $120K/year more than initially offered. What really stood out was how well he understood my priorities and guided me to ask the right questions and position myself strategically. Thanks to his advice, I was able to connect with key people, both to gather insights and to demonstrate my abilities. By the time I wrapped up the interviews and negotiations, not only had my level and salary significantly increased, but I felt that I was set up for success!

Colin helped me negotiate a +$115,000 per year offer increase for the first two years and a level-up to Principal. My hiring manager said I was one of the best negotiators she’s come across, and I have Colin’s coaching to thank for it!
When I was fresh out of college I gleefully accepted my first offer. Years later I was kicking myself for failing to negotiate. I didn’t know how, or even that I could at the time, but I soon learned my mistake and came to realize that my financial progress year over year was all going to be relative to that initial number. I vowed never to make that mistake again. Colin gave me confidence and skills to advocate for myself and ensure I was going to be properly valued in my next job.

Annie is a true partner in the journey.

Annie was an integral partner in negotiating my job offer, constantly going above and beyond to ensure I had the confidence to fight for what I deserved. She hyped me up, and pushed me in all the right ways while also respecting my boundaries in negotiation approach. I can't thank Annie enough for the unwavering support and service she provided. Strongly recommend her for anything!

Great coach and negotiator

I worked with Annie for a VP of Product Management role at a startup during which Annie coached me on negotiation of TC, and eventually helped me achieve the desired outcome. Annie is passionate about work and can truly think from customers' benefits perspective. I'd highly recommend Annie if anyone needs a professional coach and negotiator for their career move.

With Colin's guidance, I secured an offer that exceeded my expectations: a staggering $67,000 per year increase in compensation and a Staff-level position, despite having less experience than the job listing required.  Colin's invaluable mentorship… Colin's invaluable mentorship transformed my job search and career trajectory in ways I never thought possible. His deep understanding of market dynamics and innovative compensation strategies opened my eyes to opportunities I didn't know existed. Colin helped me truly understand my worth in the current job market, giving me the confidence to aim higher. His coaching on interview techniques was game-changing, preparing me for scenarios I hadn't encountered before. Colin introduced me to negotiation tactics that were completely new to me, empowering me to advocate for my true value. Throughout the entire process, from initial preparation to final negotiations, Colin was there providing expert advice and unwavering support. His strategies and insights were crucial in achieving this outcome. I can confidently say that without Colin's expertise and dedication, I wouldn't have achieved these remarkable results. He didn't just help me get a better job; he elevated my entire career outlook. I'm immensely grateful for his guidance and wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking to make a significant career move. Date of experience: October 05, 2023
