Know what you are worth.
Never mention a number first.
Be prepared to walk out.
Also consider other compensation - at this point in my career I'd really rather have an extra week or two of paid vacation vs a higher salary.
- shyn3 6y agoHave you managed to negotiate an extra week vacation? I have tried in many attempts but they end up paying me more instead as changing HR policies is a lot of work.
- sandipagr 6y agoI echo the know your worth and be ready to walk away if you aren't getting your worth. I personally don't shy from mentioning rough base salary range first though it is against popular wisdom. I let the companies know this is my range for base and its flexible based on the offered equity. Because of the base + equity splits I can bend whichever lever companies are comfortable with.
