#19 (Negotiations Should Not Be Taken Lightly)

𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗧𝗜𝗞 𝗧𝗢𝗞: 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆

Negotiations are not something to be taken lightly! With every negotiation you initially complete with a new company, the rest of your salary increases are based directly on that number in most cases.

You need to make sure it’s a salary that’s fair and worthy of the time you are sacrificing away from your family to go to a company and gift them 40+ hours each week.

Here are 5 key takeaways:
1️⃣ Identify your range, and considerations of the proper range, and remember the lowest number is typically what #recruiters remember.

💕 Research the role, industry, and geographical pay rates on Glassdoor or Salary.

🕒 Figure out your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and value offerings that relate to the targeted role and re-emphasize this at the negotiations table. Pull proven results from your brag book to share with the decision-making team.

🍀 Reasons to negotiate salary (education, experience, and skills, cost of living, multiple offers, etc.).

✋ Ways to increase your perceived worth.
