Diana Initiative 2022
Las Vegas, NV

We’ve all heard you should never accept the first offer, you must negotiate! There’s data that shows candidates do not negotiate job offers for a variety of reasons. However, negotiating is a skill that will help you excel in your career and will help you navigate difficult situations well beyond your next job offer. This talk will walk through both negotiating your next job offer and how to apply these same skills to a work situation where you need to convince a team to fix a security issue but they seem unwilling to do so. This talk will cover negotiating myths, how to approach the negotiation, and tips and tricks for a successful conversation. The audience will walk out with a better understanding of negotiating, all the things that go into a successful outcome, and strategies that they can apply to a multitude of situations.

Lea Snyder
Principal Security Engineer

Currently, I’m a Principal Security Engineer working in the Detection and Response space. During my career, I've worn a lot of hats in both IT and security. I've also worked for a lot of companies that start with the letter "A." Outside of my day job, I stay busy as evidenced by the time blocked for conference support (TDI, BSides Seattle, and Layer8), mentoring women in security, and getting out into the world.
