Negotiating tips: TLDR - You were interviewed and now they want to negotiate...

1. Always negotiate in good faith. Never be deceptive. Be Honest.

2. Take your time. Don’t get pressured into a response

8. Gently push back if you feel manipulated and express your feelings and your true value.

Finally, give yourself and the recruiter a timeline. A week is about the maximum this should go on for. Any longer and I find the process grows cold.

Always negotiate! The system expects you to. You’ll never be dinged for it as long as you do it right. Also - negotiating when you get hired is 10x easier than negotiating after you start as an employee.

7. Negotiate with recruiters. They do this 10x a day and know how the game works, managers often don’t.

5. Know your BATNA (Best Alternative to Negotiated Agreement) and communicate it with integrity and honesty.

3. Do your homework. Know (research) your market price.
