Video Summary

Dr. Kim Skelding, an interventional cardiologist, shares insights on job negotiations in her lecture. She emphasizes knowing the type of job you seek, your strengths and weaknesses, and being willing to stretch your abilities. Understanding the culture of a workplace, its risk tolerance, and lifestyle impact is crucial. Factors like salary, support, work-life balance, and mentorship should guide negotiations.

Prioritizing non-negotiables, having a negotiation strategy, using tools like contract lawyers, and not compromising values are key.
