I worked with Annie to negotiate jobs offers with multiple companies in Q4 2024. It was my first time leveraging such a service so I was genuinely curious to see how it will work out. Overall, I was very happy with the experience, and feel like I got a lot of value from Valued (no pun intended :)). I would definitely recommend the service to anyone negotiating job offers in tech. A few things to highlight: 1) Annie was very responsive and met with me when I needed it, 2) Annie shared a few strategies that seemed obvious but I definitely didn't think of, and 3) the cost structure was flexible and very reasonable for the value you get.

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.

I discovered Valued through Maven and was initially hesitant to invest in negotiation coaching, having always relied on my professional network for career advice. However, after attending their lightning lessons and following their content, I realized the value of having true negotiation experts on my team. Working with Annie was transformative. She helped me successfully negotiate with multiple companies, pushing me when needed and providing strategic guidance on timing and approach. What I appreciated most was having a dedicated expert who does this for hundreds of professionals. The single most valuable thing was having a professional negotiator in my corner who could spot opportunities I might have missed. To any skeptics: Even if you're well-networked in tech, you're not a full-time professional negotiator. Having subject matter experts who do this daily gives you an edge that your network, despite their success, simply can't provide.

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
