General Advice
Let's explore the general tips that you should keep in mind while negotiating.
Tips
Here are some tips of my own.
Don’t accept right away!
Always negotiate. Nobody is going to take away your offer because you tried to negotiate.
Never lie
This industry leaks like a sieve, especially among recruiters and hiring managers. However, the strategic omission of facts is fine when you aren’t ready to disclose them.
Get a coach?
You can hire coaches like Josh Doody (author of Fearless Salary Negotiation) to help you. It makes economic sense to pay a sizable % of your salary increase for this because you get to keep benefiting in perpetuity. I personally have not yet done so, as I wanted to try it myself.
