Fearless Salary Negotiation

A step-by-step guide to getting paid what you're worth


I'm Josh, a team lead and project manager in the consulting industry. I've helped many people make thousands of dollars more by negotiating a higher salary.


You're probably underpaid

Most people don't know they should negotiate their salary, so they're leaving a lot of money on the table.

This book will help you get paid what you're worth by teaching you how to negotiate your salary, when and how to request promotions and raises, and how to ace every interview.

I'll share strategy and tactics that I've learned over a 10-year career in multiple industries to help you get paid what you're worth.

I applied Josh's salary negotiation method and got a much better job where I'm paid what I'm worth. In less than a week, I interviewed for and negotiated a new job with a base salary increase of $15,000!

About Me

I'm Josh Doody. I studied Computer and Electrical Engineering at the University of Florida, graduating in 2003. Then I worked as an electrical engineer for a Department of Defense contractor for a few years before switching to project management and consulting in the software industry.

It wasn't long before I went back to the University of Florida for my MBA (while still working full-time), finishing in 2011.

In 2012, I moved into project management full-time. Now, I manage a technical team and continue to manage projects of all sizes.

I'm currently writing Fearless Salary Negotiation to help others get paid what they're worth.
