In the third and final episode of our Salary Negotiation Series, we’re shifting back to the candidate side of the fence. In order to get a few different perspectives, I’m joined in this episode by two recent Penn State alum’s who have had success early in their career.

First off, I’m joined by Mari Magabo, a 2018 grad of Penn State Hazleton in the Engineering program. Mari completed her degree in the Alternative Energy track, and now works in the solar energy sector in Philadelphia.

To close out this episode, I’m joined by Caitlyn Ridge, a 2020 grad from the HDFS program who used her experience in Development & Alumni Relations at Penn State to get a job working as a Fund Development Specialist for the Girl Scouts.

With two different perspectives from two very different industries, I think this episode provides some great context and things to consider when approaching a negotiation. As I think you’ll find from these conversations, some of the basic principles of negotiation apply to any job, and any industry.
