Barbara Stöttinger (Dean at WU Executive Academy)

“Learning from the best! I had the pleasure of attending a workshop with Martina Ernst, MBA – soooo helpful for young professionals and anyone else negotiating their salary!”

Mag. Ursula Axmann (CEO - WU ZBP Career Center)

“In the WU ZBP Career Center workshop, Martina Ernst examined the topic of salary from very different angles. Well-founded HR expertise paired with practical suggestions. Top! The future WU graduates were enthusiastic.”

Veronika Homolka (Office Manager & HR Generalist)

“I want to be honest with you and you touch my heart by the saying: “Don’t think you have to change” (really I had a tear in my eye!) The whole interview talk resonated with me very deeply and I am happy about the idea behind to run such talks! Yes, I’am an expat here in Austria and I’ve been living here for 7 years now. I passed through difficult career times & work environments and that’s why your tips and advices touched my heart. Thank you😊 I feel you are an amazing woman and it’s fantasic you founded your own companies! With your respect I’d like to follow you and your next career/salary advices.”

Anna Helene Franzwa

“Thank you for the great salary workshop on November 30 I found the statement very eye-opening: “Salary is based on the position for which I am applying and not on the past” This was particularly inspiring and true for me personally 😊👍🏼”

Zagorka Bozhinovska (Business Analyst)

“Thank you once again for our discussion. It was true gift speaking with you as it is having the Female Leader meetings! To the point – I managed to lend a Lead Business Analyst job in RBI, for much better salary, starting mid of April! 😉 This position fits with where I see myself.
One thing crosses my mind from our discussion: “you need to know what you want”. So it is :).”

Emese Elisabeta Kovacs (Network Engineering | Customer Relationship Management )

“When you were talking about salary negotiation, it sounded so easy as going shopping for shoes 🙂 And it got me thinking as how money was a taboo subject and with what non serving beliefs I grew up with back in Romania.” (to the Interview)

Tobias Tschipan (Student - WU Vienna)

“Thanks again for the interesting course on Monday, it helped me a lot! I have negotiated my salary once so far and I actually felt very uncomfortable. In the meantime, I’m kind of looking forward to the next time and find the whole topic exciting and thrilling now.”

Amina Covic

“I respect people from action and the one who are able to help no matter of the circumstances and without a lot of questioning. Even though I came to Martina in a last moment, right before taking a new professional path, she acted very fast, professionally and at ease. She quickly grasped the whole story and came up with a couple of suggestions that I could use immediately the next day.  Martina is an amazing women, she enjoys empowering women and having them earn their worth! I can highly recommend her services and I am looking forward working with her in the future.”

For employees or self-employed people  

SalaryNegotiations. is a consulting, training, and coaching company whose primarily goal is to help all professionals get a higher salary or improve their career.

SalaryNegotiations. partners with organisations and corporations who want to enable their members and employees to negotiate and advance their career and be able to discuss it at eye level with their (future) managers or clients.

We want you to understand your market value, know how to negotiate your salary or your next career step and earn your real worth.

If you think, your pay isn’t justified and still hesitant how to go about it, SalaryNegotiations. will partner with you to analyse your current compensation package and career scenario and thereafter define a systematic plan together with you to define your salary and career goals and prepare you step by step during your salary and career negotiations – and you will earn the salary you deserve.

John F Kennedy, the youngest U.S. President quoted once and with great precision,

“Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate.”

Negotiating is an art. An art that will help you identify your self-worth and earn it well deservingly.
