A 🧡 on Salary Negotiation (new job)

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Research salary ranges for your position & experience level at your target location.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Have a range in your mind. What's the minimum you can accept, what's the ideal number. Be realistic.
πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Negotiate between the time when you are offered the job but you haven't accepted. Don't negotiate after accepting the offer.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎLet the employer offer first.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎIt's ok to go back n forth 2-3 times. Not just once and not 4 or more (with maybe a few exceptions)
πŸ‘‰πŸΎBe confident in asking but not arrogant. If asked, justify why based on your research.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎIf you have competing offers, surface those.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎLook at total comp, not just 1 component. Consider other factors such as experience, growth/learning opportunities, benefits, location etc
πŸ‘‰πŸΎDon't nickel and dime.

πŸ‘‰πŸΎIf you have to say no, give generic answer and be polite.

That's it for now. I'll post a new thread tomorrow with an example scenario.
