A recent survey of 1,200 UK workers found that 2 out of 3 men felt comfortable asking for a pay rise, compared to less than half of the women surveyed. Here are some interesting insights into how male and female workers in the UK differ when it comes to salary negotiations: Workers who: Men Women Feel comfortable asking for an increase 64% 43% Have never negotiated their salary 40% 55% Are more likely to negotiate working hours than pay 41% 56% Are more likely to negotiate on specific parts of a job 55% 42% This implies that women are more dubious when it comes to talking about money in the workplace \u2013 although a growing number are prioritising flexibility and better hours over monetary compensation. It\u2019s also interesting to note that, in a recent survey, one-third of female UK workers described themselves as overqualified for their current job. Meanwhile, their male counterparts are likely to be more confident when applying for a job, even in cases where they are under-qualified.
