How to negotiate salary?

Hi there,

It's hard for us to say without being in the negotiations...

Honestly, I'd recommend hiring a coach to support you in this - the payoffs are obvious (get even 5 or 10% higher than you otherwise would have and you've easily made your money back). Feel free to shoot my a message for support.

There are alot of networking techniques, but, in general, you need to know what the market rate is, and hold firm on that market rate. Don't undersell yourself just becaus eof your previous salary....this is information only you know.

Information asymettry here needs to be used to your advantage.

Good luck!

Hi there,

• Your best bet to get a higher salary if the proposed one is low is an alternative offer that you can use to counter-offer
• Alternatively, if possible negotiate on multiple elements. Signing bonus, promotion time, bonuses.

If you have time, a good book on the topic is Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss – a lot of good tips there ;)

Best,

Francesco

Hello there!

HR does not know your previous salary. So, when the question about your salary expectations is asked - do not hesitate to name the number you think is appropriate - 7,5 LPA in your case. Just don't overestimate, and it's better to base your expectations on the average salary for the company.

Hope it helps!
