What is the best way to negotiate salary?

Education. Do your homework. Know what your position should be paid, and know your value and worth, but don’t be greedy.

I once gave an individual a raise that was on par with the industry standard. A fairly good one. This person came to me and said that it wasn’t fair and he was about to stop working. I asked what they expected to receive. He wanted a 40% raise. I told him to find another job that would pay him that much more and we could work together on a transitional plan.

We all want to be paid well and fairly, but you gotta know the right number to go after.

While I'm aware that ~$100K is average to good salary for fresh graduates in US but some companies offering similar in India!

I recently joined a company of 400 people as the only Talent Acquisition Specialist. I feel like the role I'm doing is so much more than a Specialist level. I feel I'm being underpaid and my title doesn't actually align with what I'm doing. I feel like a Manager. I'm trying to recruit on 15+ different positions while trying to manage so many other ongoing projects and requests. How do I bring this up without sounding like I'm complaining? Is it worth saying something?
