You’ve seen this a million times on job descriptions. You’re led to believe that if you have more experience, you’ll get paid more. If you have less experience, then you’ll get paid less. This is a lie. Let’s talk about it!
In this episode, we talk about:
- How companies use "salary depends on experience" as a tactic to get you the lowest price possible and make it harder to negotiate.
- How to prepare for a negotiation and how to overcome this tactic.
- How to properly research salary so that you can get paid what you deserve.
Ryan and Hannah also talk about the importance of knowing how much you get paid now and how much they’re about to pay you are not related.
Hope you all enjoy the episode!

Today's episode is a special one because it's our 50th episode!
It's been a year since we started the Degree Free podcast! We were doing other things and working multiple jobs and running another business so we started this as an experiment and it still is one in many respects.
We didn't know what to expect and your overflowing support is a huge surprise and it's something that we sincerely appreciate! We're constantly grateful and humbled that we have people listening, interacting, and getting value out of what we do.
We hope to be doing this for a long time more to help as many people reach their goals and potential as possible!

We hear all the time that we need to love our jobs. This is one of the biggest lies that we’ve all been told.
“Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life”.
Everyone’s heard that and multiple people have been credited with being the first ones to say this.
The reality is the vast majority of people work so they can afford the things they need to make a decent life outside of work.

In this episode, we talk about:
- The problem with “Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life”
- Is job satisfaction more important than money?
- Why you will quickly hate and resent the job you love when you cannot afford to do the basic things you’d like to
- Why it's important to remember that you are a person outside of work
