Ep.154 - How to Get Hired, Promoted & Paid What You Deserve as a Woman

About this episode

Karen and Nuria Muñoz discuss strategies for women to navigate hiring, promotions, and salary negotiations effectively.

The hiring system carries bias, and it shows. While efforts are made to solve this, it’s important that we take ownership of our own career. In this episode, Karen is joined by Nuria Muñoz, Global Talent Leader at Munich Re, to unpack what really happens behind the scenes in hiring, promotions and pay decisions. They talk about why job descriptions are wish lists, why being a perfect match is actually a red flag, bold interview questions that change the dynamic, and how to handle high-pressure interviews with confidence. Nuria also shares negotiation strategies for salary offers and for promotions. For her, treating your career like a business plan is essential. If you’ve ever hesitated to apply, struggled to negotiate, or wondered how to fast track your growth, this conversation is your playbook. You don’t need permission to grow. You need strategy.
