If You Want Something, Ask For It

I had several job interviews in the past few months.

Well, I’m not actively looking for a job though, I am just testing the water, and looking to see if there are any better opportunity.

Luckily, I received an offer from one of my dream companies.

At first, they offered a 30% salary increase, but after I negotiated, they raised it to 40% 🤑.

That’s a huge bump, I honestly never thought I would reach this level of income so quickly, and all I did was just one simple thing, ask.

This reminds me of one of the funniest TED Talks, in my opinion, where the speaker talked about rejection. You should check it out –> What I learned from 100 days of rejection | Jia Jiang

Growing up, I wasn’t the person who always challenged things. I guess I have always just accepted what life throws at me.

Yes, it gave me more peace, but I think sometimes I missed out on potentially big opportunities.

I’m glad it has been slowly changing.
