Guest(s): |
Suzanne Pfeffer, Professor, BioChemistry, pfeffer@stanford.edu
Stephanie K. Eberle, Director, SOM Career Center, seberle@stanford.edu
|
Description: |
Negotiating the right start-up package is not like buying a house or car where you don't expect to have a long-term relationship with the seller. It is about getting the resources you need to be successful in an environment with what could well be life-time colleagues. Some great tips on how to do this will be discussed with two professional guests who have been on both sides of the negotiating table. |
