Compensation negotiations are some of the most important conversations in executive hiring, and many senior leaders approach them without a clear strategy.

In this episode of Mission One: The Executive Edge, hosts Gerard Miles and Dan Hampton break down the art of compensation negotiation from both the candidate and hiring manager perspectives. They explore how to research your market value, when to disclose salary expectations, and how to structure a counter-offer without damaging the relationship before you even start the job.

From understanding equity and bonus structures to navigating the signals you send during negotiation, this episode offers a practical framework for approaching compensation conversations with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re a senior leader evaluating your next move or a hiring manager structuring executive offers, this conversation reveals the strategies that help both sides reach alignment faster and avoid costly mistakes.
