How to negotiate salary?
First of all, you should do some research about the average pay for your desired position. Don’t forget to take your level of expertise into consideration.
If you’re a fresh graduate, you can usually negotiate for 10% more than the initial offer. If you’re applying for a senior position, be bold and ask for slightly more than you really want. If you’re good and they really want you, there’s a chance they’ll agree. You never know.
Also, never say less than you had in your previous job. People are often afraid they will ask for too much. In fact, the decision always rests with the employers and it’s up to you whether you agree to their terms. When speaking about your expected salary, emphasize you’re open to negotiation and compromise. A well-handled negotiation will benefit both sides.
