How to Negotiate Your Salary During a Career Pivot

When you pivot careers, you often face a pay cut or a lateral move. But Lucas and Luna argue that negotiation is still possible—you just have to use different leverage. In this episode, they break down a specific case: a marketing manager pivoting to product management who secured a 15% raise despite zero direct experience. They discuss how to value non-traditional skills, benchmark against adjacent roles, and use the 'skills premium' argument. Lucas shares a negotiation script that works when you can't fall back on industry tenure, and Luna pushes back on whether it's realistic in a down market. They also touch on the risk of pricing yourself out of a pivot opportunity. Tune in for a concrete framework you can adapt to your own cross-industry move. #SalaryNegotiation #CareerPivot #ProductManagement #MarketingToProduct #SkillsPremium #CompensationStrategy #Leverage #InterviewPrep #OfferNegotiation #NonTraditionalSkills #CareerChange #JobOffer #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #NegotiationTips #MidCareerMoves Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
