"He who speaks first loses." A saying from India
Would you like to leave $5,000 to $20,000 per year on the table when you accept a new job, and later on kick yourself for doing it? Salary negotiation is a very tricky issue.
In American culture we do not like to haggle or bargain. It is a normal pattern in other cultures.
Let me give you three top tips on salary negotiation.
1. If the company has fallen in love with you, they will go through great lengths to satisfy your salary requirements.
2. Know the salary ranges from surveys for your type of a job. Try http://www.salary.com/.
3. Do not blurt out your salary requirements or your present salary until the time is ripe!
(This topic of Salary Negotiations has been discussed very thoroughly in my book, Career and Life Counseling from the Heart - Don Sutaria)
