STOP! Note down these **5 salary negotiation tips** now so **you** don’t get underpaid

**1️⃣ Form an ideal range** 

Format your ideal salary by + $20k

For example: If your expected salary’s $80k, you should negotiate a range from $80k to $100k

---

**2️⃣ Drop your number and be comfortable with it**

Never

❌ Enter the interview round not knowing the position's salary range

- I’d recommend you search on Google with keywords: Position + salary range

Always

✅ Be upfront about your expectation

✅ Ask recruiters if they don’t mention it

---

**3️⃣ Back up your desired salary with evidence**

- A case study of your best project
- An impressive portfolio
- Achievements in previous work (with real data)

A profile backed by solid evidence will:

🔸 Prove what you're worth

🔸 Give you leverage for further negotiation

---

**4️⃣ Prepare for the worst**

It’s not wrong to expect getting what you asked for but…

Keep it real and always prep yourself

🔸 Have a backup plan 

🔸 Be willing to walk away

🔸 Separate your ego from the outcome

---

**5️⃣ Money isn’t a decisive factor**

Companies can't always offer you more money

Consider their non-salary forms of compensation too

- Sabbatical leave
- Performance bonus
- Extra vacation days
- Equity
