About the Course:

This course directly affects your wallet.

The first negotiation that most executives conduct in the corporate world is over their own compensation. The manner in which you conduct this crucial negotiation will not only affect your near-term compensation but the raises, promotions and bonuses you receive throughout your career. You must know how to make trade-offs with core issues such as duties and base salary as well as with other components of your remuneration such as vacation time, health care coverage and reimbursable expenses.

This course discusses a range of crucial issues related to negotiating your compensation arrangements. Among these issues are:

• Pre-negotiating due diligence
• Importance of achieving clarity with respect to title and responsibilities
• How to negotiate for special compensation benefits such as stock options, deferred compensation, and special retirement benefits
• Insights into negotiating relocation triggers and reimbursements
• Grounds for early termination
• Effects of early termination on unvested stock, severance and bonuses
• Impact of restrictive covenants such as confidentiality, non-disclosure and inventor assignments
• Dispute resolution processes
