Negotiating a salary can be so daunting, how do you know how to start? Did you learn from anyone or did you learn from experience/on the fly?

Generally just good advice there I think.

Everything I've learned has been on the fly. First time I did it, I just asked for 10% over what they offered. They came back at 5%. I snap accepted and felt like I'd totally gamed the system. Kind of hilarious looking back on.

For a first time negotiator that’s not a bad result!

They either give me what I asked for or they don’t. If it’s interview related I simply tell them I cannot work for an unlivable wage (was recently offered significantly less than I already make to switch from GP to ER lmao hell no, not if you’re not gonna give me emotional labor pay). And if it’s asking for a raise and they decline the it’s time to start job hunting and once I have a new job with a new start date, just stop showing up to the previous job. It’s the only way they learn to respect what the got.

Yeah put them in their place!

Research how much similar jobs are paying on LinkedIn and Glassdoor. Speak to recruiters and ask them how similar roles pay. You need to know what level of salary your experience and qualifications can command before you start salary negotiations.

Yeah I think the research will help a lot but I guess they also need to be receptive.

Ive learned most of it on the fly! Each experience gets easier

I guess it’s the easiest way to learn usually!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
