Thank you so much for these tips! For the first time EVER after receiving my job offer, I felt confident negotiating my salary and I was successful at receiving a $5K increase! Woohoo!!

[@katieanderson2184]

Can you give an example of how to show that paying you a little more will benefit the company as well?

[@firstofthreeburks]

Would it be appropriate, if entering the field with no previous related work experience, to offer the lower end salary for your starting pay if they are willing to review your work performance after 30 days or 90 days or something in order to negotiate a higher salary once they have seen your value and you've had time to see what it is you'll actually be doing to determine a fair wage?

[@KellyBirdsong-marzbars0000]

I noticed that the first tip that you suggested was to avoid salary negotiation at the beginning of the interview. Do you have any advice for a situation where that doesn't go that way. Such as the interviewer immediately asks what salary provisions include prior to extending deposition.

[@LifeWorkBalance]

Great question! Before your first interview, ensure you do the research to know what the market rate is for a job like this and for someone with your qualifications. That way, if this question does come up right away, you are prepared.
I do not recommend you, the interviewee, bring up salary in the first conversation. However, if the interviewer brings it up I think that is fantastic!
It’s a strange double standard: if you bring up money at the beginning, it can signal to the interviewer that you are only concerned about the money (which is partially true, but ideally you communicate your passion for the position, the work, and the organization first). If the interviewer brings up money, I think this is truly one of the most respectful things they can do in the interview process. This ensures everyone is on the same page, from the beginning, about salary expectations. If your expectations don’t align with what they can offer, it’s better to go your separate ways now rather than spend hours in the interview process for all parties.

Hello there, thank you so much for your video. What if they don't post the salary range in the job description?

[@LifeWorkBalance]

Great question! This is still pretty common - many jobs don’t post a range, which is frustrating in my opinion.
Do your research ahead of time to know what market looks like for this job. Look at resources like Glassdoor, O*Net, etc. to find out what the average rate is for this job in your area looks like.
Ideally, early on in the process, the recruiter or interviewers will bring up salary. If they don’t, you can ask something like, “what is the established hiring range (or hiring budget) for this role?”

​@@LifeWorkBalance what are your thoughts on bringing cost of living or market adjustment into the conversation? I am considering moving from my current organization to another that is located in a state with a cost of living that is 20% higher than where I am currently located. I really am hoping to have my salary adjusted due to this difference.

[@LifeWorkBalance]

@@Gigantor18 Great question! I would say you want to keep this in mind when salary negotiations begin but don't bring this up right away. See what they have to offer. Along these same lines, you need to know exactly what you need vs what you want.
Salary is critical for living needs. However, would you be able to take a lower salary (as long as your basic needs are met) in exchange for other types of compensation? Like remote work (in a location that has a lower cost of living?) or more PTO?
Be prepared to justify why you need a certain amount - having a spreadsheet detailing costs of living, etc. will be helpful for this!

[@Gigantor18]

​@@LifeWorkBalanceThat makes sense - thanks so much! Your videos were a huge success in helping me have a successful interview and land the job I wanted! Big thanks to you for your content

[@nicolebenevides2879]

Hello great tips, I really appreciate your work! :) I’ve got a question for you. After having a conversation for a pay rise, how long should we wait for the answer? If your boss says he’ll get back to you but takes too long to ger back to you? Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter
