WHY USE RIVA?
Learn By Doing
Go through a negotiations process with our guidance and learn best practices and techniques directly from negotiation experts.
Avoid Common Mistakes
Yes, the offer may be higher than your current job or what you were expecting. But starting a job being underpaid sets you up for long term career problems.
Be More Confident
A big part of your success in negotiations is how confident you make the ask. Go into your negotiation with confidence and get better results.
MYTH #1
New graduates can negotiate for larger signing bonuses, salary, and equity. We see it all the time. Don’t miss out just because you’ve recently graduated.
MYTH #2
Yes, the offer may be higher than your current job or what you were expecting. But starting a job being underpaid sets you up for long term career problems.
MYTH #3
Every offer is negotiable. This is a tactic that recruiters use to get around a negotiation. If you make the ask, the worst that will happen is that they say no.
Recruiters and companies negotiate day in and day out. They have experience, data, and experts on their side. Our mission is to level the playing field between employers and employees and fight pay gaps.
Riva is most effective for young and mid-career professionals negotiating a new job offer. If you are an executive (for example a VP-level executive), we can recommend coaching options. Contact us for more information.
Negotiating starts during the interview process. You’ll get a question about compensation expectations. See our Pre-Offer Negotiations Resource which will step you through how to handle this question step-by-step.
We built Riva for full-time job offers in the United States. We encourage you to find additional resources in addition to our app and our resources if you are negotiating an international job or internship.
