Event Recap: Negotiation Professional Development Event at UNT SWE
On April 4th, Dallas SWE President, Rana Karimi, spoke at UNT SWE on the topic of gender and negotiation. The evening began with an icebreaker for attendees to get to know each other. Once everyone was acquainted, Rana delivered her talk, with a keen focus on empowering women in the workplace. Rana provided invaluable insights and strategies to help attendees effectively negotiate their first starting salaries. Through engaging discussions and Rana’s storytelling on real world negotiation experiences, participants gained a deeper understanding of the negotiation process, learned to identify their value, and developed confidence in advocating for themselves. Rana’s anecdotes made the event both enlightening and informative, increasing awareness of the tools and knowledge to navigate their future salary negotiations successfully. The future of UNT SWE members is bright, as the attendees are more aware of the gaps and focus areas to proactively pursue equitable compensation in their professional endeavors.
Dallas SWE would like to thank and recognize UNT for their partnership on this opportunity, with special recognition to UNT SWE President, Jordan Rider, for coordinating and hosting this event.
