The coach prepares you. You conduct the negotiation and make every decision.
We discuss business terms such as pay, title and start date. We do not interpret or draft employment contracts, non-compete agreements or other legal documents, and we do not advise on discrimination or other legal claims. For those, please consult a licensed attorney.
