10 steps to negotiating a good salary

When starting a new job, some companies give you the chance to negotiate the salary.

While in some companies, the opportunity comes once you have completed your probationary period.

Sometimes, it could be just to feel satisfied with your current vocation and get a salary where you feel like you're getting fairly compensated for your job.

Here are ten steps to ensuring you negotiate a good salary.

1. Don't accept the first offer

2. You can also negotiate for benefits, bonuses etc.

3. Practice the conversation you will have for negotiating your salary.

4. Talk with your recruiter so that s/he may understand why you need more than what they had originally budgeted for you.

5. Don't be the first to share your expectations.

6. Don't be emotional.

7. Prepare an offer for their offer.

8. Remember to consider what you are worth and what they are willing to pay you.

9. Research your value before going for negotiations.

10. Give a time line to your employer. Allow your recruiter to have time for consideration.
