Salary & Negotiation
Salary conversations become easier when you know what information matters before the negotiation starts.
Separate salary from total compensation
Base pay is only one part of an offer. Bonuses, equity, retirement benefits, health coverage, paid time off, and other benefits can materially change the package.
Decide what matters before negotiating
Know your priorities, your minimum acceptable outcome, and which parts of an offer you may be willing to trade.
Compare the actual job
Titles alone can hide large differences in responsibilities, hours, location expectations, and level of seniority.
