The hearing about you so much and what you are doing and what you're contributing, that your presentation is just the final nail to get you to that next level.

Welcome to So Money, everybody. Wednesday, January 12th, update, daughter is still showing no symptoms, all clear.

Everybody in the house, just experiencing cabin fever. We got our PCR tested.

I'm going to have to wait five to seven days for those results. Yeah, that's where we are in America right now.

This is really testing my patients. In the meantime, I thought I would dedicate a podcast to how we can make the most of this year

when it comes to our salaries. One of my favorite experts on this topic is back on So Money.

She is fantastic. Her name is Alexandra Alex Carter. Her book asked for more 10 questions to negotiate anything was first published back in May of 2020 by Simon and Schuster.

And now she has the paperback with some timely updates, namely the pandemic, working from home, the Zoom culture, how to make more money in 2022 is the topic of conversation today.

And we talk about some of the macroeconomic issues like inflation, the increased cost of living and how to weave that into your negotiation, how to make a case for your value in a culture, a work culture where now you're working virtually and your results may not be as visible.

We also address a listener question that has more to do with how to tell when your employer just isn't going to give you the money. Maybe they're giving you a title raise, maybe they're giving you some credits towards taking classes, maybe they're giving you flexible work hours, but what you really want is money, how to tell if that's even in your cards.

And advice for women why this year could be the year to put your foot down, be aggressive, even if it backfires because we all know women will mean negotiate like men doesn't always work out for us. Here's Alexandra Carter.

Alexandra Carter, welcome back to So Money. Happy 2022. How are you?

Thank you. I'm really well. I'm glad to be starting out the year with you. It's my first interview of the year.

I loved having you on the show when you were on previously. This was I think fall of 2020. We were talking about negotiating making more money in the context of the recession that was happening at the time, as well as we were in the throes of COVID-19.

Unfortunately, the pandemic is still with us. And while looks like the job numbers are improving what we are seeing since you were last on the show that the big I think job story was the great resignation.
