Most professionals get stuck in Crippling Ego or Destructive Modesty. How intentional are you about how you communicate and frame your words at work?
You are a team player but you believe speaking up for yourself risks damaging relationships or your career.
You speak up for yourself easily but people don't listen to you. Your ideas fail to get accepted. You lack influence despite your efforts.
You advocate for your ideas successfully because you have the trust of others. You achieve win-win solutions rather than win-lose.
Professionals who are serious about their career growth and development invest in this edge.
You should know where your focus should be and where you should delegate.
Thanks to my advisor and the team at Rora I got a ~$250K increase on my remote Facebook offer! The whole process was very smooth, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use the service for any future negotiations. I found the regular calls with my advisor where we walked through strategy and discussed the scripts to be extremely helpful. Not only did it help with this negotiation, but I also learned a lot of useful negotiation tactics that I’ve already started to use in other situations.
Coming from a non-FAANG background, I was shocked to find out how much I could be earning. Before I signed up with Rora, I made the mistake of telling Amazon my current compensation. Thankfully, Rora knew exactly how to fix it and ended up getting me an offer that was 2.3X what I previously made and more than $600K higher than Amazon’s initial offer!
The Rora team has been phenomenal from day one to the end of negotiations/job search. From planning the application timeline to working out negotiation scenarios, they consistently provided quality/timely advice that made a difference in my negotiation outcome. Highly recommended.
I reached the goal that I didn't imagine could come true. I would highly recommend Rora, especially if you're a fresh grad phd, because this is an area that they specialize in, and very few (if any) other firm has expertise on.
When you thought that you have overcome the interview hurdle, the negotiation process that follows can prove equally challenging. Up against recruiters who are well familiar with the process, I've encountered a range of tactics from deadline pressure, threat of offer withdrawal, to being dropped from a matched team. Working with a Rora Advocate meant having a guide to navigate through this tricky process. We worked together to develop a game-plan at every step, giving me the confidence to take more calculated risks with the recruiters. The result was a significant increase to my base salary, equity and sign-on bonus/
I believe that had I not worked with Rora, my final offer would likely have been over $50k below the offer I accepted (or perhaps even over $100k below). Rora was super helpful in many ways throughout the process: (1) They provided helpful advice on setting timelines for the interview/offer/negotiation processes, (2) they provided a ton of useful data about previous offers Rora clients had received, and used this data to help me know what I should ask for at various points during my negotiation process, and (3) they helped me be calm and prepared during all of my calls with recruiters and hiring managers, by helping me write scripts and better know what to expect from these calls. I would highly recommend Rora to anyone who is going through a job search!
Rora was very understanding and respectful of my accelerated timeline and desire to push for something right away. I am grateful for the support and guidance they provided me as I was able to interview, negotiate and accept a final offer with a significantly improved amount of compensation.
I learned a tremendous amount about my employers and future managers by negotiating and going through Rora's process. I also believe that this will help me negotiate with my employer (and others) in the future. In sum, Rora helped me to recognize my value as a professional and to set the bar high for my employer and future roles as well. This not only significantly increases your present-day income but also all future income as well as how you perceive your individual value. Truly transformative!
Rora has lot of experience with negotiation processes across companies, and so have data on pay packages and great advice on how to better structure asks based on qualifications / leverage. I highly recommend them!

The biggest causes of failure in our careers are from failing to solve people problems, not from failing to solve technical problems.
You could be leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table because you don't negotiate your job offer effectively. You could be wasting years in your job because you don't know how to negotiate inside your job effectively.
A Rora Career Agent will amplify your career and have your back in ways you did not know were possible.
Smarter negotiating can be the difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Compound this over a 30 year career and it's obvious, better decisions have a 10X impact on your career.

Do you know what is 10X more expensive than Rora? Failure. Termination. Quitting. Missing out on a big opportunity because you were blind to it.

For a job offer negotiation, we charge as a % of the negotiated delta of the job offer we help you negotiate. No increase, no fee. Our company does not survive unless we impact your career.
For negotiating your role inside and helping you advance internally, we charge a monthly fee.
No, because our service includes supporting you to negotiate inside your role as well. While we charge on the upside of the offer negotiation we sustain our business profitably by building a long term relationship with you and advancing your career in the long term.
You should apply when you are starting to look for a new full time position. The strategy for your negotiation begins as soon as you reach out to a company. If you’re already negotiating we can still help, but please reach out ASAP since your need is time sensitive.

Yes, it is possible. We have the data to know that it is exceedingly rare, less than 1% of the time. Your risk also depends on how you negotiate – we identify the signals when you are at risk, and manage that risk appropriately.
