Know What You Have & What You Want: Clarify Priorities & Negotiate

Evaluating an offer requires careful consideration, including whether to negotiate and how well the role aligns with your goals. Since every situation is unique, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with a Coach to discuss your offer and next steps.

Note: If you feel pressured to accept before you’re ready, you can reference Yale SOM’s Recruiting Guidelines, but we also recommend booking a coaching appointment to strategize your approach.
