Having the compensation talk with HR tomorrow, sounds like I got the job! Don’t know what to expect—move is from agency to media side. Would love to see some lines you use to negotiate for more?

Why are you looking to negotiate for more before you've even heard the offer?

Because you should always try to negotiate for more. The first offer is usually the lowest and most employers expect it, that’s why when you’re on the other end and in the position to hire--HR asks for a range. If you’ve never negotiated, you’re leaving money and/or extra benefits on the table.

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago. They’ve just offered me a new position: Creative Services Manager (in house for 4 related brands). I have no official experience in this field and had never heard of it before but feel like it will essentially be a creative director. I will also maintain the photography duties for the time being. Any idea what salary I should ask for?
