Salary negotiation

>>1071541
I hear you get more money by switching employer every 2 yrs or so, 50% more in fact.

Depends on what your job is.

You should attempt to find another job with the salary you want.

Even if you get what you want at your present position, you're probably going to be seen as a disloyal careerist(not that there's anything wrong with that.) You'll be able to stay for a while, but eventually your going to have to move one anyway.

If you can't find something in short order, go in high but reasonable. Use Glassdoor for others with the same title at competitors or whatever as supporting evidence.

If you stay with whomever you're with now you will have to quit every time you want a raise.

Main reason I don't really want to switch employer is that I plan to go to graduate school in the next 2 years so a switch now probably won't gain me much

I work in an education company, mostly aimed at foreigners, expanding company at the moment setting up near universities with lots of foreigners. I work on setting up the network and training drones to use the software. Basically a glorified network admin.

That's below average starting for anyone with a useful college degree. Not sure why you're butthurt.

I just recently got done doing this, but it was more along the lines of being horrifically underpaid to having a salary close to market-value.

All and all, don't be Mr. Cool Negotiator Badass. Be a human being and be honest. Do you research and figure out what your skills are valued at in the market, and start on the higher end of that. The key is to know what you SHOULD be making. If you pull a bulllshit number of your ass, you'll fail. Do you research. Be prepared.

1) Be prepared to walk away from a deal you don't like

2) Don't let them wiggle out of paying you money in return for "extra holidays" or "Better healthcare" or shit no one cares about. You told them it is about salary so keep the negotiation focussed on that.

3) Justify any number you pick with comparable salaries elsewhere

4) You may have worked with these people for a few years but they are not your friends, so don't expect them to be friendly. They want exactly the same as you: as much money as possible.

depends where they live

First off, never let them know you don't have something else lined up. Straight up lie and say their biggest competitor is interested in you.

Find out what the average is for your position with your experience. Aim 10% higher than that unless you're way below it for some reason.

Go in and say that other company is offering you %15 higher than what you're at and that if they can meet it, you'll stay. Be prepared to come down some. Make it seem like they won a little bit too.

Stick to salary, fuck extra vacation days and other bonuses.

GET IT IN WRITING WHEN YOU ARE DONE!

Too many fucks say that they will put it into effect at some time in the future.
