Leila Serhan: Negotiating Your Salary

Leila Serhan is the Public Sector Director for the Gulf Region at Microsoft, where she has been working for the last seventeen years. In her conversation with Marilyn, Leila shares stories from her career, including her first job at a Lebanese telecom company, her early days at Microsoft, the stereotypes she's been held to because of her gender, and how she is giving back through mentorship. What's interesting about Leila is that throughout her extensive career, she's never negotiated her salary. In fact 68% of women do not negotiate their salaries, and through Leila's narrative we look at why.
