Negotiate - Salary

The proper time to discuss your starting salary is after the job position has been defined and you are sure the employer understands what you are bringing to the table.

When it comes to discussing your starting salary, let the employer go first. That way you have a firm starting point that you can be assured of, when it is your turn.

Once they go first, you respond by repeating their starting salary offer and remaining sailent.

The best way to leverage a pay scale salary report for a successful negotiation is to set your own expectations about how you will use your report. know what information your report contains, and especially know what data represents - what is behind the numbers beofre taking it to the boss.

Two common points the employer may wish to discuss are the sources used to obtain the data in the report, and whether the data in the report matches your job profile, the company profile, and job location.

finally you receive a salary that you can live with and is fair.you now have a firm base to agree to, that you know you will be happy with.
