Rora Reviews 162

Easily paid for itself many times over, by helping me negotiate a far better comp than I could have imagined!

The team played a crucial role in understanding the job market, leverage, and the mindset to be successful in the search. It was also fun working with Sameer. They are the ones who are truly on your side -- not just the salary negotiation part, but also on how to be the best professional in the field. I highly recommend them.

I enjoyed working with Naveed. The structure Rora provides helped me navigate the post-interview stages of the job hunt process, and I felt empowered to advocate for myself and my value better than I would have been by myself.

I signed with Rora towards the end of my job search, once I was in the final interview stage with 5 or so companies. I was mainly looking for support during salary negotiations, as well as advice during team conversations so I can more clearly define my ideal company criteria and figure out strategies on how to ask about these. Naveed completely exceeded my expectations on both counts! He ramped up surprisingly quick with the context of each of the conversations I was having, talked to me early on to understand what was important for me in my next role, and offered useful insights on almost every important communication I had with the companies. During the negotiation stage he made great suggestions for how I could best research the offers I got (I didn’t even know recruiters would agree for me to meet the hiring manager and TWO team members?!) and how to structure the negotiation as a win-win while gently applying pressure when needed. Throughout, I was most pleased with how detailed his knowledge of my situation and conversation status was, and his suggestions on what questions to ask and how to interpret the responses.

As a result, I became much more confident in navigating a job search, felt more reassured that I found the right fit, and got a modest comp increase during negotiations. An excellent advisory service in every sense!

Naveed was a fantastic negotiation advisor — supportive, strategic, and always available when it mattered. His mock interviews and thoughtful prep calls gave me confidence. The emotional support throughout made a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable.

I really enjoyed working with Courtney and Sameer on the negotiation process. I learned a lot from them. They were extremely patient, and understood my situation and needs. They were able to help improve my final offer quite significantly. I highly recommend Rora's services for negotiation, and I have already recommended them to my friends.

Nicole, from Rora, was great, she supported me all the way through the process and helped me get more than I thought I could on my own.

I had an incredible experience with Arian, very relevant to get better salary from the get go. Don't be afraid to ask for more! Ask for their help!

I have been in Tech for ~10 years and have done fairly well negotiating for positions in the past. However, the process and information provided by Rora made negotiating much easier and straight forward with a template of how and when to provide supporting information during negotiations. I particularly appreciate Arian's great advice and perspective. I feel like I had done well in the negotiations with a small start up, but a single half sentence added by Arian in a counter offer email ended up accounting for 30k in additional income in the final offer. I later found out from the head of HR that I was one of the highest payed employees - and that I was worth it (to paraphrase him). Rora took my decent negotiation skills and added the little bit extra that was needed to really get what I was worth and that my company knew it.

My advisor helped me refine the language I used when communicating with the recruiter, ensuring I avoid common communication traps. Their guidance gave me the confidence to navigate the negotiation.

My advisor Naveed gave me invaluable practical coaching on how to frame the conversation with comp stakeholders and when to share information that affects the negotiation. Beyond that, he helped guide me through negotiations with several companies and attain the confidence to advocate for myself rather than settling for the first offer. He was incredibly responsive, empathetic, and diligent -- overall a pleasure to work with. I would strongly recommend him to anyone navigating the negotiation process!

Working with Arian was amazing. He was proactive in helping me with the stages of negotiations. I would not have considered negotiating beyond the base. However, Arian walked me through different parts I can negotiate and strategies for those parts. His feedback on emails and communication was very important in building my confidence.

Working with Rora (through my career agent Arian) was extremely helpful in navigating the various phases of the negotiation, from the initial meetings with HR to the offer request and, most importantly, the counteroffer stage. They provided valuable insights on handling different situations and shared template scripts, which will be highly beneficial for any future negotiations.

Arian was very knowledgeable and helped me get an offer I wouldn't have been able to otherwise! He was particularly helpful in coaching me on how to manage calls with the recruiter and the hiring team.

Naveed held my hand through negotiating a stronger offer and also medical accommodations that were really important to me. Without him, I would have not been 100% sure if I was taking the best approach. Thanks to him, I was able to ask for and get a substantial counteroffer with my full chest. I really liked Rora's approach of getting a win-win for both sides - the only ways I knew prior were competing offers/ "I'll sign right away if...". My manager said later they were really impressed that I had my growth plan written out so well before I signed.
After every recruiter email and call starting from the verbal offer, Naveed thoroughly explained what we were going to do and how to prepare for the ~3 most likely next steps. His insight into reading between the lines of the emails and calls, as well as researching my market rate was especially helpful in giving me confidence in whether to push.

Both my Rora coaching partner and advisor (Arian & Sameer) were so knowledgeable, supportive, and responsive. Adding to that the data points they shared with me, I was so confident in my negotiation. The added value was well worth the money.

Arian was very responsive and helped me understand what we were expecting at each step and how we were using everything to craft our pitch for why the offer should be higher. I learned a lot about the extra information I should be collecting and using in negotiation pitches

Working with Naveed was like having a behind-the-scenes strategist who made sure I never felt lost in the negotiation process. He gave me the clarity and tools I didn’t know I was missing. What surprised me most was how prepared I felt, every recruiter message or update, we already had a plan for. I honestly couldn't have pulled that off without Naveed’s guidance.
The team also showed great flexibility in terms of payments which I really appreciate.
The only downside was that I felt they had lack of enough information about TC from my employer in my location.

Rora has good knowledge of how to negotiate and build relationships with the hiring team. They also have a pay-what-you-think-is-fair guarantee. I'd recommend them. The pricing can get tricky when you don't have an initial offer from the recruiter. Be sure to understand the working style of your advisor and make sure it matches your expectations. Note that there are circumstances in which even Rora might not be able to help you negotiate a great offer.
