How to Bargain Salary
When preparing to renegotiate salary, there are a number of steps you should take to be an effective self-advocate, according to Kolb and Porter:
1. Gather information so that you will feel that what you are asking for is defensible. Prepare to explain the value you bring to the organization.
2. Develop alternatives to the current negotiation to increase your flexibility at the table. Keep in mind that the other party’s alternatives, such as losing you, may be less attractive than yours.
3. Examine your vulnerabilities and plan ahead to compensate for them. For example, if a project you worked on didn’t pan out, prepare to discuss what went wrong, what went right, and how you learned from the situation.
