Let them be the first to mention a salary or salary range. If their offer is above the minimum you are willing to accept, accept the offer without further negotiation. If it is within 10 percent of your target salary, say you were thinking more in the area of 10 percent above your target salary. Gauge their reaction. If they hem and haw too much, and you are afraid the fish is getting off the hook, say, "Tell you what. If you can make it (your target salary), that'll be fine." General rule is never negotiate against yourself. Sometimes you have to adjust for the circumstances.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
