This is for a new company. It took about 3 months to get to the official offer from the first discussion with the firm. So I utilized this time to structure how much I wanted to earn and determine what I was worth. Look up BATNA! I used this as a resource https://salary.aauw.org/ albeit generic - it helped me organize my thoughts and how I would approach the negotiations. Also did tons of Glassdoor research and dug through Fishbowl (seriously it’s a lot of self reported data on here about how much people got offered for certain positions/levels - may be outliers here but helps to know I utilized this as I would information about salary from a friend) I also had discussions with other firms and flat out asked the salary range of the positions they were trying to place me in. (i did this with the firms I did not necessarily want to work for but were competitors in the space - was not bold enough to ask this to company that I signed with lol)
I also chose to avoid the salary discussion until after the offer. The offer came in at 10k more than what I was currently making - but I chose to ask for the title bump and 20k more. When I came back with my counter I provided justification supporting my ask. (Had a call with the recruiter then emailed her my key justification points so she could advocate on my behalf. MD approved the bump and salary requirement based on the justification I provided. (Nerve racking and scary but the most they could say - was no and now I feel proud I pushed for more!)
Keep all of this in mind it was my first time really negotiating more than 5k and may not be how everyone else would approach it but worked for me!
