    1. Good advice, but negotiating relies on feeling (or faking) security to risk losing gigs. I took 5 years of speaking (and enough invites to turn some down) before I had confidence to ask for *anything at all* – let alone 5k. The system rewards those with the least to lose. monteiro/1138804847937957888

    It's been shown repeatedly in job interviews that women/queers/poc do negotiate, and still get paid less in the end. I'm constantly thankful to the (generally invite-only) conferences that pay all speakers well & equally across the board, without the need to negotiate.
