Best strategy for negotiating salary? My partner will most likely receive a job offer this week (manager wants to hire but wanting on HR to make the official offer) and neither of us have been great at negotiating salaries in the past. Any advice would be helpful!

I would lean into the asking for more

Start by asking easier questions to calm your nerves

“I want to understand the total package”
“What does promotion cadence look like, what do annual comp increases look like and what are they dependent upon”
“What is the bonus dependent on”
“Do you pay out vacation at end of year if it doesn’t roll over”
“How much is the HsA contribution/401K match”
“what does the salary potential look life for this role over the next 5 years”
“Is there a signing bonus”

Okay given ABC that you’ve said I think a starting base salary of XYZ is closer to what I was thinking is there any reason why we can’t do that”?

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take?
