"I transitioned from startup to FAANG and I found myself in a position that I had never had before - I had an opportunity to negotiate. Trust me when I say, Semarley was my career savior. She walked me through every step of the negotiation process, making sure I never lost sight of my real goals, asking the right questions, and most importantly, celebrating with me when I got my dream job plus 60% increase in compensation. I plan to keep working with her for the rest of my career because she is just a wealth of knowledge that no amount of money or effort can get you on your own. Whether you're a seasoned negotiator to just starting out in your career, do not take an extra moment to reach out to Semarley."

“During final negotiating rounds for my most recent role as an external hire, I was fortunate enough to connect with Semarley.  The coaching time spent with Semarley significantly contributed to my willingness to ask additional questions in the leveling and compensation discussions. Our work together considerably increased my strength negotiation and allowed me greater insight when navigating the overall compensation package structure.  I was able to negotiate an increase in 18K for signing bonus prior to signing my final offer with Amazon. I recommend working with Semarley if you are interested realizing the upside potential of taking the next step in your career.”

“Semarley has fundamentally shifted my approach to work/life balance, and was instrumental in securing the role that has allowed me to pursue my passions professionally and personally. When I met Semarley, I was underpaid, under utilized, and highly unmotivated in my work. Through the course of a few conversations, she was able to expertly hone in on my unique set of skills and direct me toward a role that could be a much better fit for my interests. Not only did she persistently encourage me to apply when I wasn't sure I qualified for the position, but she also took the time to edit my resume line by line, and coach me through mock interviews through every step of the process. Though it was a drawn out endeavor, Semarley was incredibly patient and generous with her time, and ultimately, was the key to me successfully landing the role!
