Some 69% of women feel anxiety or worry about negotiating pay, with 20% fearing that asking for a salary boost will damage their career, finds a study by pay software company, Syndio. Top study responses were: fear of rejection (25%), lack of confidence (23%) and concern about seeming pushy (21%). The study highlighted that men tend to be more confident when asking for a rise: feeling like they know their worth, that it won’t impact their career, and it will improve how they are perceived (all at 16%).
