Successfully negotiate your offer – with zero awkwardness.
The Ultimate Guide to Negotiating Your Salary is a step-by-step guide to productively discussing your job offer with your future employer. From understanding your priorities to benchmarking your role, to preparing and having the actual discussion.
Is this for me?
Yes, if you're a….
White-collar professional: whether you’re a Generalist, an Engineer, a Salesperson, whether you work in Ops, People, Finance, this is for you
Starting a new job: this Guide is specifically for negotiating an offer for a new job; if you're looking to negotiate a pay rise, check this out
With a 50-250k salary: any less and there's limited scope to negotiate; any more, and your offer negotiation becomes extremely individual
Based in the UK / US / EU: while some concepts apply universally, the guide is written with a professional in these countries in mind
Why you should negotiate your offer
More money = more freedom
Money isn't everything in life but having more of it gives you more freedom (to take time off, retire early, etc.).
Compounding is real
Making a little more today can mean making a lot more in 20 years – and saving a lot more in between.
Salary is a multiplier
Your pension & bonus are tied to your salary – secure higher basic pay and you also increase these elements.
Get non-salary elements
You can negotiate other things than salary – think (signing) bonus, 9-day-fortnight, job title, equity, etc.
Signalling
People respect people who stand up for their worth and can have difficult yet productive conversations.
Now is the time
Your best chance to make things happen is right when you get your offer.
