Recently, I've been reading up on gender inequality in academia. 📖 I learned that women are less likely to negotiate job offers compared to men. Fellow academics, did you negotiate your job offer? Boost is appreciated. 🙏

@Annemieke_vandenDool beyond salaries, there’s lots to negotiate for that my coauthors and I surveyed political science faculty about and wrote up here in case useful to share with your networks: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ps-political-science-and-politics/article/wow-i-didnt-know-these-options-existed-understanding-tenuretrack-startup-packages/2D4EBC319921435782EA95109E223C90

@Annemieke_vandenDool Problem is that even when women do negotiate the outcome is different from men https://hbr.org/2022/10/3-negotiation-myths-still-harming-womens-careers
3 Negotiation Myths Still Harming Women’s Careers

We’re in an unprecedented moment for employee negotiations. The pandemic accelerated the transformation of work practices, and we’re living through a historic labor migration and uncertain economic times in which organizations are struggling to attract and retain talent. In the subsequent surge in negotiation, if women and men are confined to outdated gender expectations, we could come out of this in an even more inequitable place. The authors dispel three myths that are hampering women’s potential to seize opportunities and overcome barriers in their careers. As organizations redefine the future of work, it’s time for leaders to make their employee negotiations more equitable.

@Annemieke_vandenDool Also possible: attempting to negotiate, but not getting a higher pay (happens more often to women than men)
