  • Read some books on the subject

    Never Split the Difference might be appropriate. Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion is a great read. Getting to Yes/Getting Past No may also be decent.

    Understand “what kind of cards you’re sitting on”. Before that even happens, ensure that you have good cards

    Concrete example: You’re looking to increase your salary. You can do it either by convincing your current workplace to increase it, or you can look for a new job.

    The cards you’re sitting on: How valuable you are to the company, and how likely you are to leave if you don’t get what you want.

    How to improve your hand before you get to the negotiating table: Try getting some competing offers for jobs.

    If you’re the less experienced negotiator, avoid negotiating live

    When negotiating salary for a new position, the recruiter likely has far more experience negotiating. They will know techniques to try to get you to commit to a lower number than is possible. To avoid this from happening, move negotiations from in-person/on the phone to email. Give yourself a lot of time to process all information.


  • Which brand/model are you using?

    Aftershokz Aeropex

    How’s the sound quality?

    Not great, but they are not headphones I use for audiophile-purposes

    How’s the sound leak?

    No idea tbh - a bit more than in-ears/over-ears I guess?

    What kind of music do you use it to listen to?

    Hardly any. If I want music, I have other hardware for that. My primary use for these headphones is to listen to podcasts while exercising

    Are they comfortable to wear? For how long?

    You don’t really notice them. I use them for hours on end for long cycling trips and they work well for that

    Do you get any skin irritation or even breakdown where it contacts your temple?

    I have not noticed any

    Does the hook part wrap around your ears without any pressure points?

    Yes

    Does the behind-the-head band bounce around when you’re walking or running?

    Not noticably

    How much space is between the band and the back of your head/neck?

    A few centimeters, less than five.

    How’s the battery life?

    A full charge maybe gets you 8 hours I think? I never let my devices go that low, though

    How long have you had it?

    2 years

    When do you use it?

    While exercising to listen to podcasts

    Do they stay put, or do you need to reposition them frequently?

    They stay where they are. It can be annoying to put on/take off shirts though as they can easily get stuck in them

    Anything else to comment on?

    I really enjoy my headphones, but they are most certainly not good for music imo. Still, it makes my rotation, which is mostly these plus a pair of buds that go in my pocket for all other listening purposes
