your value, while also being flexible and open to
discussing other benefits besides salary.

3
Understand Your Value and Research
Know your worth
Before the interview, assess your skills,
experience, and accomplishments and determine
what you realistically expect to earn.
Research industry standards
Use resources like Glassdoor to understand the
typical salary range for similar roles and
experience levels in your area in the similar
industry.
4
Consider the company's financial situation
Research the company's financial health and
industry trends to understand their potential
budget for the role.
Timing and Approach
Don't discuss salary prematurely
Avoid bringing up salary during initial phone
screens or early interviews, as the focus should
be on your qualifications and fit for the role.
5
Wait for the employer to bring it up
Let the employer initiate the salary discussion,
as they may have a better understanding of the
budget and expectations for the role.
Be confident and professional
Speak clearly and confidently about your salary
expectations, but avoid being overly aggressive
or demanding.
6
Focus on the value you bring
Instead of focusing on your needs, emphasize how
your skills and experience will benefit the
company.
Be prepared to justify your salary range
Have a clear understanding of why you are seeking
a particular salary and be able to articulate
your value to the company.

Negotiation Strategies
Provide a salary range
Instead of naming a specific number, offer a
range that reflects your research and
expectations.
Be open to negotiation
Understand that salary negotiations are a common
part of the hiring process and be prepared to
discuss your expectations and potentially
negotiate.
8
Don't be afraid to ask for more
If you believe you are worth more than the
initial offer, don't hesitate to negotiate for a
higher salary.
Consider the entire compensation package
Don't just focus on salary also consider
benefits, bonuses, stock options, and other perks.
9
Be prepared to walk away
If the company is unwilling to meet your salary
expectations, be prepared to decline the offer
and move on.
Always stay professional
Regardless of the outcome, maintain a
professional and respectful demeanor throughout
the negotiation process.

These are few example responses
Deflecting
"I'm excited about the opportunity and would like
to learn more about the role and the company

about the responsibilities and expectations?"

for a salary in the range of lower end to

package and the overall compensation structure."
