General tip when negotiating: never ask more than 50% of what the other party had in mind before you talked.
Asking too much is a rookie mistake, you can quickly look like a clown if you do.
Do your homework, you can't negotiate blindly, you need to understand the market and the current trends.

If you’re confident that you can find another opportunity that pays what you want, why wouldn’t you just let them know what you expect and then negotiate from there? If there isn’t a match, then that’s just how it is. Not that it’s not a good idea to let them offer first, but mainly because you might lowball yourself.

- stephc_int13 5y agoWell, this is not a specific advice about job interviews, but general business. And you should give a fuck about signing the contract, otherwise you shouldn't lose your time and try negotiating in the first place.
