Hi Madalene,
Thank you again for sharing this information, I’ve shared this blog with many people in my network and they all enjoy it as well.
I’m ready to move up in the organization I work for – do you have any advice for someone who is applying to a higher level position at their current organization? Preferably for someone who is looking to grow from a high level assistant role to the development department, let’s say the major gifts/foundations team. This person already has relationships with people on this team.
In the event that this person is successful, any tips on negotiating salary when the person is already an employee of the organization and both positions are housed in the same salary band?
Thank you again for all your guidance and help!
Best,
Christy Carter
