It all
begins with determining your desired salary range. Start by researching
typical salaries for someone with similar experience in your industry. The
bottom of your salary range should be the minimum you must make, with the
top being a bit higher than your ideal. Consider what you need in order to
cover your expenses. It helps to know, more or less, what the employer
intends on paying. When asked for a salary requirement, give them a number
that is in the high end of what you're looking for. If asked why you're
looking for that amount, remind them of your skills and experience as they
relate to the position. It's never because you have expenses! Consider the
offer in its entirety (salary + benefits, vacation time, stock options,
etc.) keeping in mind, everything is negotiable, but you must negotiate
everything up front.
