Best is in my opinion to really practice salary negotiation with a friend. The most important aspects are: 1) Talk about salary at the very end of the interview process (by then the company should know your value). 2) Let the recruiter / manager say a number first. 3) If you get the offer, no matter how you feel, act satisfied, but not too satisfied. 4) Try to negotiate up reasonably. I talk more about this in my talk at Europython on tech-recruiting and salary negotiation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PTaTDHUG4&feature=youtu.be&t=1595 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PTaTDHUG4&feature=youtu.be... Disclaimer: I am a recruiter. If you're looking for a tech job in Zurich, I probably can help you out - you find my contact details in my HN handle.
