Don't Undersell Yourself at the Negotiating Table

You'll only block your own advancement if you sell yourself short. "My salary situation at Morning Joe wasn't right," says MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski. "I made five attempts to fix it, then realized I'd made the same mistake every time: I apologized for asking. Also, I didn't really know my value, so I didn't know what to ask for." Prove yourself, then confidently ask for what you want and deserve.
