Ask for the money you want in your next job interview | Mel Punch, Head of UK Careers at Investec

Published on: 2nd May, 2022

If you are a woman it is likely you earn way less than your male colleagues – for the same job! On average 20% less… insane right?

While there are foundational changes required at the core of all businesses, you can also start making a difference


Be more prepared for that interview…


Know your worth and ask for what you want


This episode is a gem, and Mel tells us real life upfront advice not found just in google


Have a listen, and go and ask for what you want.


Mel is the Head of UK Careers at Investec, and has over 18  years experience in HR; she’s worked in large multinationals and startups, so believe me when she is sharing the real deal it is true.


We met during our time together at Tandem and that’s why I can tell you first hand she is great and you should listen to her :)


Love


Moni 💜
