Negotiating Salary, Growth & Career Moves
Looking to feel more confident negotiating your next raise, planning a career move, or figuring out how to grow where you are?
Join us on August 28th, 2025, at Second Home for an honest and practical evening focused on career support. We’ll dive into how to navigate salary negotiations, plan your career growth, and make those big decisions about your professional future.
You’ll hear from experienced voices in the tech world who’ve navigated these transitions themselves. They’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they’d known. You’ll walk away with insights you can actually use and have the chance to ask your own questions during a live Q&A.
After our discussion, stick around to connect with the speakers and the community over drinks. It’s a great opportunity to continue the conversation, share your own experiences, and meet others who are also thinking about what’s next in their careers.
