Streep Holds Out Until Prada 2 Salary Is Doubled

Meryl Streep revealed she initially refused to do The Devil Wears Prada 2 until producers doubled her salary, saying she understood her worth and that they needed her on the first film. The interview notes she was in her 50s at the time and realized she could command more, leading to the deal. The Devil Wears Prada 2, opening May 1, reunites the original cast and crew but faces scrutiny over whether it captures the charm of the first film, while Streep has since pursued other high-profile projects (including a Joni Mitchell biopic).

"Proven Salary Negotiation Trick from Ex-Goldman Sachs Recruiter"

A former Goldman Sachs recruiter suggests a salary negotiation trick that involves asking about the skills and experiences that differentiate candidates at different pay levels during a job interview. This information can be used to shape discussions about one's own background and later justify a higher pay during the negotiation process. Even in places without pay range disclosure laws, candidates can still inquire about the salary range based on the growing practice of pay transparency. The strategy has reportedly led to successful negotiations for a 20% increase in the initial offer for some job seekers.
