Biggest Salary Negotiation Regret: "I recently got a new job at the same company, and because I was already internal, they decided not to give me a raise and kept it as more of a lateral move than a promotion. I wish I had done the research and pushed harder for an increase—and knew better how to prove the value of my new role and argue for why it deserves more."
