QUOTABLES:

"Everything is up for negotiation. Don't settle. If you have in mind what you want to make if you have in mind what you need to make it acceptable for you to work somewhere, ask for it."

"Think big picture because your salary is not what's going to keep you at that job. What's going to keep you at that job is going to be your level of comfort, your ability to have work-life balance, not working in a stressful work environment, and working somewhere where you feel that you can get everything you need to be successful. So don't be afraid to ask for those things."
