What changes when you stop negotiating alone? The best strategies do more than increase an offer. They change how you understand your value—and what you believe is possible.

  • Won me a huge increase - one that I never would have dreamed was attainable

    "Nicole read the situation perfectly. She had a keen eye for what was possible, aimed high, and won me a huge increase - one that I never would have dreamed was attainable (let alone asked for) if I'd been negotiating on my own."

    —Isaac Rabbani • Vanguard, Revelio Labs, UBS, JPMorgan Chase

  • Nicole was incredibly helpful throughout my negotiation process

    "What made the biggest difference was not only her advice on what to say, but also her judgment on timing, which was often crucial. Her guidance made me feel much more confident and helped me navigate the negotiation thoughtfully and effectively."

  • It felt like I was playing a month-long chess game with a Grandmaster

    “It felt like I was playing a month-long chess game with a Grandmaster in my corner whispering moves into my ear. You can quickly tell how experienced Nicole is at this game, because she can whip up perfectly tactful emails and phrasings to handle tense and complicated situations literally on the fly. Truly transformative!”

    —David Bellamy • Founding AI Researcher @ Lila Sciences •Harvard PhD in Epidemiology

    —Ana Luiza Dutra • Amazon, Meta

  • I would recommend her to anyone needing to negotiate a job offer

    "Nicole is a brave and adventurous advisor, exactly what I needed as I am someone who is of the opposite type. She is bold but always with a keen attention to if I am comfortable with the details of the tactics. She is a strong mind, exactly what a negotiator needs to be like. I would recommend her to anyone needing to negotiate a job offer."

    —Md Sabbir Akhanda • Western Digital, Micron

  • Nicole was incredibly supportive and understanding of my position

    "Nicole was incredibly supportive and understanding of my position. I've been on the job hunt for a while looking for my first big tech gig after getting my PhD in a very unfriendly market. Nicole was persistent and non-judgemental and just truly a professional."

  • You should definitely follow Nicole's advice!
