What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received when negotiating salary at a new company? When I first started out, I didn’t realize I could even negotiate. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve set my range on the higher end of what I was willing to accept, but would love some tips for how to be more successful when negotiating

Starting higher is always smart. Another tip is not to fill the silence during a negotiation. Getting nervous means moving your range down when you should have just waited and heard what the response is.

Great tip! I haven’t heard this one before. I’ll have to use this.

I think the best piece of advice I was ever given was not to be afraid to negotiate. In my first couple of jobs, I was too scared they would rescind the offer if I asked for more. Confidence has gotten me a lot of extra money in negotiations.

I had a similar experience in the beginning. Thanks for the tip—negotiating is so important, and I’ve come to find, often expected

I always ask the recruiter for the salary range that they are looking for. Once they give it, I start giving them a salary I would be happy with. I also try to negotiate more stocks and PTO.

Great tips! I didn’t even think about negotiating stocks

Talk with someone who already works there about salary if possible or if not check Glassdoor. Knowing their range helps immensely.

Great suggestions! Thanks for sharing

When interviewing for position find out what the range is first before you give your #. If you provide a # first it becomes an anchor

Good idea! Thanks for pointing that out.

I am going to move in the next few month to a location with a higher cost of living due to personal circumstances.

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).
I’m excited to make this jump, but it’s still bittersweet for me because the partners at my current firm are truly amazing and I have learned a lot from them over the past few years and will miss them a lot. Any insight on the best way to have this convo without burning bridges? Thanks!

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
