Career and pay mentoring, from someone who's been there
A calm, practical chat about pay. No hard sell, and no scripts that make you sound like someone else.
Pay conversations are awkward. Most of us were never shown how to have them, so we put them off, take the first number, or stay somewhere longer than we should.
I help people think it through calmly and go in with a plan they're comfortable with.

About me
<aside>
👋
I'm Matt. I work in B2B sales, so negotiating is part of my day job. But I'm naturally introverted and I don't enjoy conflict.
I've been underpaid, made a move I regretted, and had to work my way back. That taught me more than any course.
I've also trained in coaching, so I'll ask good questions and help you work out what you actually want. But I'll also tell you honestly what I'd do, and the words I'd use.
I'm not HR, and I'm not a guru. Just someone on your side.

How it works
<aside>
☕
- A few questions beforehand, so I understand where you are
- A relaxed 45-minute video call. We talk through your situation, what you want, and what you'd be happy to walk away from
- A written plan within a day: your numbers, what to say, and how to respond if they push back
- Support around the big day. Whether it's an interview or a chat with your manager, I'll check in beforehand (with a quick call if it helps) and again afterwards
</aside>
It might help if
- you've had an offer and aren't sure whether to push
- a pay review is coming up
- you've got an interview and want to go in prepared
- you're job hunting and want a better approach
- you've found out others are paid more
- you're dealing with a difficult manager or a workplace that's wearing you down
- you feel stuck or undervalued, and aren't sure what to do about it
