The part of the job search that we all welcome, and dread: salary negotiation.
But don’t worry. We can help you navigate through this sometimes-difficult conversation that can net you positive gains in the end.
Here’s how to get started:
- Start by doing your research. Know your worth and what the market will bear in the moment
- Understand that everyone wants to walk away feeling like they gave a little and received something in return
- Find out what’s negotiable. In lieu of salary, can you negotiate flexible scheduling or work in a salary review after your probation period.
- Practice having the conversation
