Practical tips for discussing and negotiating compensation with confidence.
Salary negotiation is a normal part of the process. Here’s how to approach it.
Use salary tools and job posts to know the range for your role and location. Aim for the upper part if you have strong experience.
When possible, ask for the range or offer before sharing yours. If you must go first, give a range, not a single number.
Benefits, flexibility, and growth matter. You can negotiate more than base pay (e.g. sign-on bonus, remote days).
